Verse 1

I was a young girl with a notebook and dreams

Believed in forever, believed in “we”

Met you under summer skies, JROTC love

Thought it was written somewhere above

Packed up my life for your uniform calls

Different bases, different walls

Held it together while you chased the fight

Smiling in public, crying at night

Pre-Chorus

Twenty years of holding on

To a promise that felt long gone

I gave my youth, I gave my name

Somewhere inside… I lost my flame

Chorus

When forever fades and the truth walks in

When love feels more like a beautiful sin

I rise from the ashes, I find my way

I’m learning to live when forever fades

Three little hearts and a woman reborn

From every goodbye I’ve ever worn

I’m not breaking down — I’m breaking through

When forever fades… I choose me too

Verse 2

You wore the boots, I wore the strain

Kept the home through joy and pain

Phone calls short, deployments long

Still I tried to keep us strong

Every move, I put dreams aside

Military wife with a silent pride

But love shouldn’t feel like war inside

And healing shouldn’t mean I hide

Pre-Chorus

You held the past over my head

Every word we never said

Apologies came, but never stayed

So I found my strength… when forever faded

Chorus

When forever fades and the truth walks in

When love feels more like a beautiful sin

I rise from the ashes, I find my way

I’m learning to live when forever fades

Three little hearts and a woman reborn

From every goodbye I’ve ever worn

I’m not breaking down — I’m breaking through

When forever fades… I choose me too

Bridge

To my brother in heaven, I carry your light

To my babies, I promise we gon’ be alright

To the woman I lost somewhere in between

I’m coming back stronger, reclaiming me

Ink on the pages, my story told

A chocolate girl with a heart of gold

From Miami roots to a brand-new start

I’m building a life from a shattered heart

Breakdown (soft)

I’m not the girl who begged you to stay

I’m the woman who walked away

Still got love, still got grace

But I’m choosing peace… in my own space

Final Chorus (big)

When forever fades, I don’t fall apart

I gather the pieces and guard my heart

From military nights to a brand-new dawn

I stand in my power — I’m moving on

A mother, a writer, a soul set free

Reclaiming the life that belongs to me

This ain’t the end… it’s my breakthrough phase

I found myself… when forever fades

Outro

So here’s to the woman I’m becoming now

No more “I can’t” — only “I know how”

Love didn’t fail… it just made me brave

I found my purpose… when forever faded.
