Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I heard your name the other day In a café down on 5th and Main Someone laughed the way you do And for a second I felt the same But time’s a quiet kind of friend It softens what it can’t erase And I don’t hold the hurt anymore Just the memory of your face Pre-Chorus You thought letting go would save me You thought you were the storm [Chorus] But I forgive you, more than that I finally understand You were trying to give me The life we never planned And I found it, piece by piece In ways you couldn’t see The life we dreamed together Is still alive in me I hope you know I’m happy now Even if it’s not with you Somehow your goodbye still led me To the life we dreamed would come true [Verse 2] There’s sunlight in my kitchen now And laughter in the hall Little shoes beside the door Pictures on the wall And sometimes when the evening falls And the quiet settles in I wonder who you became And if you’d recognize this life I’m in [Pre-Chorus] You were brave enough to leave me Before love turned into chains [Chorus] And I forgive you, more than that I finally understand You were trying to give me The life we never planned And I found it, piece by piece In ways you couldn’t see The life we dreamed together Is still alive in me [Bridge] If you ever think you ruined me Or broke what we began Just know the girl you loved back then Turned into who I am And every road you walked away from Led me where I stand [Final Chorus] So I forgive you, more than that I’m grateful for the truth Sometimes love is letting go Even when it’s you And the life we dreamed together It wasn’t meant to be But somehow your goodbye still built This whole wide world for me So if you ever wonder If your leaving set me free It did.
