Verse 1
I held your name like a promise
Said forever like I knew
Built my world around your laughter
Left no room for something new
When you walked, the silence followed
Every room just felt too wide
I kept reaching for a shadow
Of the life we left behind
Pre-Chorus
I thought losing you meant losing me
Thought the dark was all I’d see
Chorus
But hope found me in the ashes
In the quiet after goodbye
When I thought my heart was finished
And the tears had all run dry
I didn’t go looking for it
Didn’t know I was still alive
But love let go—and hope found me
On the other side
Verse 2
I tried to stitch myself together
With the thread of “I’ll be fine”
But broken hearts don’t heal on slogans
They heal slow, one breath at a time
Every scar became a teacher
Every night a longer view
Turns out losing what I wanted
Made some room for something true
Pre-Chorus
I stopped begging yesterday
And started learning how to stay
Chorus
’Cause hope found me in the ashes
When I finally faced the pain
When I quit fighting the ending
And stopped calling out your name
I didn’t win—I surrendered
And somehow that saved my life
Love let go—and hope found me
On the other side
Bridge
I still believe in love, I do
Just not the kind that disappears
I believe in hands that hold you up
When you’re standing in your fears
If love leaves you empty
It was never meant to stay
The right kind leaves you stronger
Even when it walks away
Bridge (Soft Lift)
There’s a light that doesn’t borrow
From someone else’s flame
It was in me all along
I just forgot its name
Chorus (Final)
Now hope lives in the morning
In the courage just to try
In the grace of starting over
With clearer open eyes
I don’t curse what we were
I thank it for the view
Love was lost—but hope was found
And it’s leading me through
Outro
So here’s to all the endings
That felt like the end of me
Turns out they were just the doorway
To who I was meant to be
