(Verse 1)
I see the scars behind that quiet smile
Ghost that promised forever only stayed a while
They took your fire,
piece by piece,
left you colder than the start
Borrowed your light,
never gave it back,
then walked out on your heart
You gave them oceans, they left you with sand
You gave them kingdoms, they couldn’t hold your hand
They called it love, but it was just a debt
You paid in full, and they still left you less
(Pre-Chorus)
Girl, look at me
You don’t have to beg for what you’re worth
You’ve been settling for echoes
When you were born to shake the earth
(Chorus)
I’m not another page in your past
I’m the one who’s gonna make the good things last
I’ll bring out the greatness you forgot you had.
Turn your “almost” into everything you never had.
I’ll paint the sky in colors you stopped believing in
Till smiling feels like breathing again
(Verse 2)
You keep looking back like the answer’s in the rearview
But the road ahead is wide open, and I’m walking it with you
I don’t want what’s left of you; I want the woman they couldn’t see
The one who sets the world on fire just by being who she’s meant to be
Let me show you how it feels when someone stays
When the love you give comes circling back your way
No more shrinking, no more “good enough”
You were made for thunder, girl, not this hush
(Chorus)
I’m not another page in your past
I’m the one who’s gonna make the good things last
I’ll bring out the greatness you forgot you had
Turn your “almost” into everything you never had
I’ll paint the sky in colors you stopped believing in
Till smiling feels like breathing again
Stop ignoring what’s standing right here
Raise your standards, girl
I’m already there
(Bridge)
You don’t have to be strong all alone anymore
You don’t have to guard that heart behind a hundred doors
I’m not asking you to trust the world
I’m asking you to trust me
Let me prove that real love doesn’t leave you empty
(Final Chorus – softer, then building)
I’m not another page in your past
I’m the story that finally brings you back
Every queen deserves a kingdom, not a war
Let me love you till you remember what your heart is for
When you see the sunrise in my eyes and believe it’s true
You’ll know smiling was always waiting here for you
No more ignoring what’s standing right here
You raised your standards, love
And I was already there
(Outro)
Yeah, I was already there…
