Loving Through the Hurt

[Intro]
Walking down this lonely road, not a soul in sight
Foster houses, broken dreams, I fought the fight
They left me standing in the rain, never by my side
But I love them still, through every tear I cried

[Verse 1]
Born into the shadows, lost inside my mind
Shifted from the warmth of love, freedom I couldn't find
The cracks in all their promises, I learned to mend my own
Carved a path through stormy nights, found strength on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar, every tear, a story to be told
In my heart, I carry all the love I still hold
Though the world was unkind, I refused to fold
Love those who hurt me, love in every hold

[Chorus]
I had to find my own way, in the dark I rose
No one there to catch me, but I still chose to grow
Through abuse and abandonment, I learned to be bold
Loving those who hurt me, stories yet untold

[Verse 2]
Shifted over and over, no place to call my own
Yet deep inside I knew, I was never alone
The pain, the tears, the struggle, made me who I am
A fighter, a survivor, still loving who I can

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar, every tear, a story to be told
In my heart, I carry all the love I still hold
Though the world was unkind, I refused to fold
Love those who hurt me, love in every hold

[Chorus]
I had to find my own way, in the dark I rose
No one there to catch me, but I still chose to grow
Through abuse and abandonment, I learned to be bold
Loving those who hurt me, stories yet untold

[Bridge]
Maybe someday they’ll see, the strength I’ve gained
Love and pain, a dance within, unchained
Hearts broken but still beating, harsh lessons learned
My love, unshaken, for those who burned

[Outro]
So here I stand, a testament to resilience and grace
Loving even the ones who left no trace
On my own, I found my way, I’ve come so far
Loving through the hurt, that's who we are
