Acceptance

Verse 1 (gentle, calm, reflective)

I press the lilies between pages worn,

White as the mornings we have known.

The petals fade but I keep their shape,

A memory carved in stone.

Pre-Chorus (soft, building subtly)

I trace the lines, the veins, the curve,

Every moment we held, every word.

I breathe them in, and though it hurts,

I learn to carry this heavy curse.

Chorus (steady, emotional, uplifting without being triumphant)

Calla lilies live inside of me,

Fragile, eternal, where love can’t leave.

I hold the weight, I hold the ache,

And let it guide me through the break.

Verse 2 (warm, almost whispering strength)

Your voice is soft in the spaces I walk,

A shadow that teaches me how to breathe.

I see you in petals, in sunlight, in dust,

In every moment that’s left to keep.

Pre-Chorus (gentle swell)

The lilies are fragile, but I am too,

We bend, we sway, we survive the truth.

I cradle loss in open hands,

And step forward where I can.

Chorus (repeat, stronger, soaring but tender)

Calla lilies live inside of me,

Fragile, eternal, where love can’t leave.

I hold the weight, I hold the ache,

And let it guide me through the break.

Bridge (soft, reflective, almost spoken)

They bloom in my mind, in my heart, in the quiet,

A gentle pulse, a steady riot.

I carry you with me, always near,

Your love, your voice, forever here.

Final Chorus (fading, lingering)

Calla lilies live inside of me,

Fragile, eternal, where love can’t leave.

I hold the weight, I hold the ache,

And let it guide me through the break…
