[Verse 1]
We had a spark across the miles
Late night calls and borrowed smiles
Dreams we built through fragile screens
Holding on to “what could be”
But distance spoke what we denied
In quiet tears we couldn’t hide
Not every love is meant to stay
Some are lessons on the way
[Pre-Chorus]
We tried to fight what we both knew
Two hearts strong, but pulled in two
[Chorus]
Michael Shannon, you chose the light
Laid your heart down, gave up the fight
Not every love is meant to last
Some are blessings from the past
We were real, we were true
But life had plans we couldn’t undo
So you found peace, and I let go
That’s the kind of love we’ll always know
[Verse 2]
You turned your heart back to your faith
Found your calm, your rightful place
A quieter road, a steady flame
Not chasing dreams, not chasing pain
And I still see you in the calm
In every prayer, in every psalm
Not as mine, but something pure
A love that healed, a love that’s sure
[Pre-Chorus]
We didn’t break, we didn’t fall
We just weren’t meant to have it all
[Chorus]
Michael Shannon, you chose the light
Laid your heart down, gave up the fight
Not every love is meant to last
Some are blessings from the past
We were real, we were true
But life had plans we couldn’t undo
So you found peace, and I let go
That’s the kind of love we’ll always know
[Bridge]
And maybe someday, far from now
We’ll smile at where we both are now
No regrets, no what-ifs left
Just grateful hearts, quietly blessed
[Final Chorus – Soft / Uplifting]
Michael Shannon, you found your way
In faith and peace, you chose to stay
And though our story couldn’t be
You gave a better part of me
So here’s goodbye without the pain
No need for us to try again
Some loves don’t end in holding on
They end in strength… and moving on
