I Carried Us Alone

Verse 1

Seven years of holding on

To a story already gone

I kept painting brighter skies

While you were closing tired eyes

I was building fragile dreams

Sewing up the broken seams

Every promise that we made

Slowly started to decay

Pre-Chorus

I kept fighting for the flame

While you were walking through the rain

But love can’t live inside a heart

That’s beating only from one part

Chorus

I carried us alone for seven years

Through every silence, every tear

I was the fire, you were the stone

Now I’m finally letting go

No more drowning in your storm

No more trying to keep us warm

I found my strength inside the pain

And I will never beg again

Verse 2

I remember who I was

Before I lost myself in us

Before the nights I cried in bed

With all the words we never said

I thought love meant sacrifice

Paying every lonely price

But love should never feel like war

Between what is and what was before

Pre-Chorus

I see clearly through the dust

Love should never feel like rust

Slowly breaking piece by piece

While begging someone else for peace

Chorus

I carried us alone for seven years

Through every silence, every tear

I was the fire, you were the stone

Now I’m finally letting go

No more drowning in your storm

No more trying to keep us warm

I found my strength inside the pain

And I will never beg again

Bridge

Maybe one day you’ll understand

How empty love feels in one hand

But I won’t wait to see that day

I’ve already walked away

And the air feels different now

Like freedom finally found

For the first time in my life

I’m choosing me tonight

Final Chorus

I carried us alone for seven years

But I’m done drowning in your fears

I was the heart, you were the ghost

Haunting everything I loved most

Now the silence feels like light

And the dark turned into sight

I lost a love that wasn’t true

But finally I found me too
