Cure

I was looking for a cure

In a heart that wasn’t mine

Holding on to broken pieces

Like they still could shine

I cried until the silence

Knew my name by heart

But tears don’t build the wings

Of a bird that’s torn apart

So I face the pain

I let it say goodbye

I lost a part of me

But I learned how to survive

I walk through the fire

I don’t turn around

I carry my scars

But I don’t stay on the ground

You were my weakness

You were my truth

But if love kills my soul

I have to choose me over you

I walk through the fire

And finally I’m free

The one who broke my heart

Won’t be the end of me

Behind every door there’s someone

Who knows this kind of rain

Smiling like they’re fine

While they’re drowning in the pain

We hurt the ones we love

Then we blame the night

Sometimes the deepest wounds

Are the ones we hide

And I forgive the past

But I won’t live there again

I can miss your voice

And still release your name

Maybe I loved you

More than I loved myself

Maybe I lost me

Trying to save someone else

But the person I was

When you walked away

Is the one I found

At the end of the pain

I walk through the fire

I don’t turn around

I lost my wings

But I learned to touch the ground

You were a chapter

Not the whole of my story

I buried the hurt

And I carried my glory

I walk through the fire

Now I can breathe

The one who broke my heart

Couldn’t break me
