Wildflowers & Forevers”

Verse 1

Dear little girl with the scared brown eyes,

I’m sorry nobody heard your cries,

You learned too young how to carry pain,

How to smile outside while you drowned in rain.

You were searching for hands that could hold you close,

For a safe place to land when you needed hope,

And when the world got cold and mean,

You wore survival like a second skin.

Pre-Chorus

I thought love meant hurting,

I thought love meant scars,

I kept looking for home

In the back seats of broken hearts.

Chorus

So this is my apology,

To every version of me,

For all the times I stood aside

And let the darkness take the lead.

For choosing fake flowers and empty promises,

For believing forever lived inside lies and kisses.

I should’ve known my soul deserved more,

Wildflowers and forevers at my door.

I deserved to be loved the way I love everybody else,

And I’m finally learning how to give that to myself.

Verse 2

I ran to boys pretending they were men,

Trying to fix what I never broke in them,

Carrying demons that were never mine,

Calling it love while I died inside.

Picked bad boys with prison hearts,

Believed sweet words and falling apart,

Made them my world, made me second place,

Lost myself trying to save their pain.

Pre-Chorus

And I almost disappeared,

Bottle in my shaking hands,

Looking in the mirror wondering

Who the hell I had become.

Chorus

So this is my apology,

To every version of me,

For all the times I stood aside

And let the darkness take the lead.

For choosing fake flowers and empty promises,

For believing forever lived inside lies and kisses.

I should’ve known my soul deserved more,

Wildflowers and forevers at my door.

I deserved to be loved the way I love everybody else,

And I’m finally learning how to give that to myself.

Bridge

But look at me now—

I became a mother and a father too,

Built a life from ashes, somehow pulled it through.

Raised babies with honor, taught them how to care,

Showed them compassion even when life wasn’t fair.

I gave them my strength when I thought I had none,

Kept fighting every battle, every war I won.

Final Chorus

So this is forgiveness now,

For every version of me,

Because that broken little girl

Did the best she could to breathe.

No more fake flowers, no more almost loves,

No more settling for less than what I’m worthy of.

‘Cause I’m the strongest woman I know — that’s true,

I’ve survived every storm I ever walked through.

And I deserve wildflowers,

I deserve forevers,

I deserve a love that stays,

And I deserve me better.
