Herself

Verse 1

She had a spark in her smile, sunshine in her eyes

Bright like a flame that danced under open skies

Packed her dreams in a suitcase, waved goodbye

Didn’t know that the silence would echo her cries

Pre-Chorus

In crowded halls, she searched for grace

But fake smiles wore familiar faces

Taught by hearts that played pretend

She gave and gave, met bitter ends

Chorus

She was chasing love just to feel whole

Poured herself out, lost control

Wrapped her worth in someone’s hands

Till she broke where she used to stand

But now she knows the fire’s in her name

She builds from ash, no longer shamed

She loves herself — that’s where it starts

She guards her soul, she owns her heart

Verse 2

Empty calls and midnight tears

Fell for words she longed to hear

Craving warmth, she gave too much

A fragile heart, aching for touch

Bridge

But pain can teach what books don’t say

That real love never fades away

It holds you like your mother’s arms

It doesn’t hurt, it heals the scars

Chorus

She was chasing love just to feel whole

Poured herself out, lost control

Wrapped her worth in someone’s hands

Till she broke where she used to stand

But now she knows the fire’s in her name

She builds from ash, no longer shamed

She loves herself — that’s where it starts

She guards her soul, she owns her heart

Outro

No longer begging to be seen

She’s rooted now, she’s grown serene

Her circle’s small, her light is pure

And love won’t break her anymore

She gives, she glows, she stands so free —

Now love begins where she found me
