Stronger Than Goodbye

(Verse 1)

I held your name like a prayer in the dark,

Echoes of laughter still haunt this heart.

The pictures fade, but I still see

The way you smiled like you set me free.

The silence screams louder than words,

I trace your shadow in every verse.

You were the sun, and I lost my sky—

Now I’m learning how to say goodbye.

(Chorus)

But I won’t drown in the tears I’ve cried,

Won’t let the pain steal the fight inside.

Though I’ve been shattered, I still try—

‘Cause I’m stronger than goodbye.

Yeah, I’m broken but I’m breathing,

Still got hope though I’m grieving.

You left, but I’m still alive…

And I’m stronger,

Stronger than goodbye.

(Verse 2)

I walk alone where we used to go,

Every streetlight feels like a ghost.

But every scar’s a map of grace,

Leading me to a safer place.

I thought the end would swallow me whole,

But sorrow taught me about my soul.

From ashes, something new can rise—

I’m learning how to live this life.

(Chorus)

I won’t drown in the tears I’ve cried,

Won’t let the pain steal the fight inside.

Though I’ve been shattered, I still try—

‘Cause I’m stronger than goodbye.

Yeah, I’m broken but I’m breathing,

Still got hope though I’m grieving.

You left, but I’m still alive…

And I’m stronger,

Stronger than goodbye.

(Bridge)

There’s healing in the morning light,

A little more with every night.

You’re a chapter in my story,

But I’m still writing mine.

(Final Chorus)

I won’t drown in the tears I’ve cried,

Won’t let the pain steal the fight inside.

Though I’ve been shattered, I still try—

‘Cause I’m stronger than goodbye.

Yeah, I’m broken but I’m breathing,

Still got hope though I’m grieving.

You left, but I’m still alive…

And I’m stronger,

Stronger than goodbye.

(Outro)

You were love, you were light,

But I’m learning how to shine…

Stronger than goodbye.
