[Intro – slow, tense, heartbeat pulse]
I saw the signs before I saw the truth…
but nothing hurts like knowing it was you.
[Verse 1 – jealousy / suspicion building]
You were smiling a little different,
locking your phone a little quicker.
I felt my heartbeat twist with jealousy,
every laugh you hid hit me quicker.
I tried to calm the storm inside,
told myself it’s all in my mind…
but my gut kept screaming louder
than your “baby, everything’s fine.”
[Pre-Chorus – betrayal revealed]
Then the pieces fell into place—
your lies slipping through your teeth.
I saw the messages, the late-night calls,
the truth staring right at me.
And my heart cracked in a way
I didn’t think I could survive…
but pain can be the fire
that brings you back to life.
[Chorus – heartbreak + transformation]
I broke, I bled, I shattered clean—
but somehow, I still learned to breathe.
And every tear that hit the floor
became the strength I needed more.
I thought losing you would ruin me…
but losing you is how I found me.
[Verse 2 – the comeback / finding purpose]
I took long walks in the quiet nights,
rewrote my story line by line.
Picked up hobbies I forgot I loved,
patched my heart back stitch by stitch.
I found beauty in becoming whole again,
learned the power in being my own friend.
And somewhere between healing and hope,
the sun rose in my chest again.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – meeting the right love]
Then someone gentle found my light,
held my heart with open hands.
Didn’t rush, didn’t force—
just showed me I could trust again.
And suddenly I realized
what real love is supposed to feel like…
soft, patient, safe,
never something I had to fight.
[Chorus 2 – the happy ending]
I broke, I bled, I shattered clean—
but baby, now I finally breathe.
Every wound that once felt sore
became the strength I stand on more.
I thought losing you would ruin me…
but losing you is how I found we.
[Bridge – triumphant / cinematic]
Thank God for all the nights I cried,
’cause they led me right to this life.
I learned that love that starts with pain
was never meant for me anyway.
And now I stand where joy begins—
with a heart that finally feels like home again.
[Final Chorus – full glow-up]
I broke, I bled, I came undone—
but look at who I’ve now become.
Storms don’t last, they only pass—
and leave you stronger than your past.
I thought being cheated on would end me…
but baby, that’s what helped me
find the love that’s meant for me.
