Found Me First

I spent years chasing someone else's eyes,

Looking for forever in every goodbye.

Built my heart around people who couldn't stay,

Till I got tired of giving myself away.

I learned the quiet isn't something to fear,

Sometimes your own voice is the one you need to hear.

And somewhere between letting go

And learning how to breathe...

I found me first, then I found you.

Stopped chasing love, started chasing truth.

Now you're not filling an empty space,

You're just adding light to a heart I saved.

You don't fix me, you just hold my hand.

You love the woman I became.

Turns out the road that led me home

Was the one that brought you too.

You never asked me to change my scars,

You just traced the lines and called them art.

For the first time, love feels like peace,

Not something I'm begging not to leave.

Maybe the greatest love story

Was never about finding somebody else.

Maybe it started the moment

I finally chose myself.

I found me first, then I found you.

Two whole hearts with nothing to prove.

Now forever doesn't feel so far,

'Cause I know exactly who we are.

If tomorrow changed everything,

I'd still be standing strong...

'Cause loving myself

Is where this love came from.
