Verse 1
I quit driving by that old gravel road,
Stopped chasing ghosts that never came home.
The radio don’t hit quite as hard,
Now it’s just another song in the dark.
I traded whiskey nights for sunrise skies,
Stopped asking Heaven all those “why’s.”
Funny how a broken heart can mend,
When you finally quit looking back again.
Pre-Chorus
It didn’t happen overnight,
But little by little I found the light.
Chorus
I finally found me on the other side,
Where the hurt don’t follow and the tears run dry.
Got my old smile back, got my faith restored,
Stopped keeping score of what we were before.
I ain’t saying it was easy letting go,
But every mile led me where I needed to go.
You thought losing you would break me forever…
Turns out losing you made me better.
Verse 2
Now these boots walk with a different stride,
No more looking for a place to hide.
Got good friends, a front porch swing,
And peace is my favorite thing.
I still remember every goodbye,
But they don’t keep me up at night.
Those old memories don’t hold me down,
They’re just footprints fading out.
Chorus
I finally found me on the other side,
Where the hurt don’t follow and the tears run dry.
Got my old smile back, got my faith restored,
Stopped keeping score of what we were before.
I ain’t saying it was easy letting go,
But every mile led me where I needed to go.
You thought losing you would break me forever…
Turns out losing you made me better.
Long pause
Bridge
Sometimes the worst thing that ever happens
Ends up being the best thing for your soul.
The road gets lonely, but it leads somewhere,
If you’ve got enough faith to let it go.
Final Chorus
I finally found me on the other side,
Where tomorrow’s brighter than yesterday’s lies.
I’m still standing, stronger than I’ve ever been,
Thanking God for where this road has been.
The scars are there, but they remind me why
You can’t keep a heart from learning how to fly.
I never thought I’d say these words together…
Thank God I made it through the weather.
Yeah, I lost your love…
But I found forever.
