[Verse 1]
He sat across from me, just talkin’ straight
A guy named Halex, open with fate
He told me stories, no shame, no mask
Adventures of love from present to past
Then he said something I’ll never forget
“How Christians play holy, but sin in secret"
They praise in the light, but dance in the night
Like apples of sin don’t need to be right
[Pre-Chorus]
He said it loud, he said it clear
But he never knew I was sitting near
Not just a listener—I was the scene
The one hiding shadows behind the clean
And in that moment, truth hit my soul
A mirror shattered, but made me whole
[Chorus]
That was the last meeting with my dark self
The final talk before I found help
No more lies in the pews I sing
No more chains in the offering
God didn’t place him there for fun
He was the voice when I was numb
A stranger’s truth turned on the light
And I walked away from the longest night
[Verse 2]
Went home, heart heavy, mind wide awake
Thinking if this pain was my biggest mistake
But I heard a whisper not from this world
“You’re not ruined, you’re still my pearl”
I thought the past stole every chance
But it just gave me a reason to dance
Not a curse, not my fault, not shame
Just a story that shaped my name
[Bridge]
Forgiveness ain’t easy, but it’s real
Healing takes time, but wounds will seal
I don’t gotta fake it, I don’t gotta run
I’m not what I did, I’m what He’s begun
He pulled me out, He made me clean
Out the nightmare, into the dream
I’m born again, the past is done
I live in light, not in the undone
[Chorus]
That was the last meeting with my dark self
The final talk before I found help
No more lies in the pews I sing
No more chains in the offering
God didn’t place him there for fun
He was the voice when I was numb
A stranger’s truth turned on the light
And I walked away from the longest night
[Outro]
So if you're hiding, know this too
God’s not afraid to come find you
Through strangers, moments, even tears
He breaks the silence and ends your fears
That day I changed, that night I cried
But it was the day I came alive
I met the dark, but I chose the light
And now I’m walking into life so bright
