Verse 1
I’ve danced with ghosts of yesterday,
Left some pieces on the way,
Learned love don’t always stay,
But it teaches you to breathe.
Dust on my boots, sun in my eyes,
Small-town truths, big goodbyes,
Every scar just tells me why
I’m stronger than I used to be.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been burned by empty promises,
Chased a life that wasn’t meant for this,
But the farther I ran, the more I’d see—
Chorus
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
I’ve paid my dues, I’ve felt the seams,
Every tear that life threw at me,
Still right here’s where I wanna be.
Yeah, I’ve bent but I didn’t break,
Found my truth in every mistake,
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
Right here’s where I wanna be.
Verse 2
Backroads humming like an old love song,
Radio up, keep driving on,
I lost a few but I gained some strong,
Found my fire in the pain.
Every no just cleared the way,
For the yes that’s here to stay,
Funny how the hurt can make
You thankful for the rain.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve chased forever in a moment’s kiss,
Thought real love looked different than this,
But the closer I got, the clearer it’d be—
Chorus
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
I’ve paid my dues, I’ve felt the seams,
Every scar that life threw at me,
Still right here’s where I wanna be.
Yeah, I’ve learned what real forever means,
Standing strong in my in-betweens,
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
Right here’s where I wanna be.
Bridge
I’m done running from the girl I was,
She did the best she could with love,
If I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t stand,
Right here, right now, just as I am.
Breakdown (half-time feel)
I’ve been burned, I’ve been blessed,
I’ve loved wrong, I’ve loved my best,
And every road that led me here
Was worth the mess.
Final Chorus (big & uplifting)
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
I’ve learned what real freedom means,
Even when it ain’t easy,
Right here’s where I wanna be.
Yeah, I’ve bent but I didn’t break,
Found my truth in every mistake,
From broken hearts to stolen dreams,
Right here’s where I wanna be.
Outro
Yeah, the past don’t scare me anymore,
I know what I’m standing for—
From broken hearts to stolen dreams…
Right here’s where I wanna be.
