Love was the teacher by Endi - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

(ruhig, fast gesprochen – nah am Mikro, ehrlich, kein Vibrato)

I loved you with an open heart

Thought staying meant being strong

I called patience what was pain

And silence what was wrong

I prayed for change, I waited long

Made excuses in Your name

But love exposed what I ignored

And nothing stayed the same

Pre-Chorus

(Stimme hebt sich leicht, mehr Luft, inneres Öffnen)

You showed me wounds I couldn’t see

Patterns I learned to hide

What surfaced wasn’t random, Lord

It was truth in disguise

(kleine Pause – halber Takt Stille)

Chorus

(klar, getragen, ruhig – nicht laut, sondern weit)

Love was the teacher

But staying wasn’t the plan

You gave me clarity, not cruelty

You took my heart by the hand

I didn’t lose love

I gained my sight

Sometimes letting go

Is how You lead us right

Interlude (ganz leichter Puls Kick oder Low Percussion)

Verse 2

(mehr Sicherheit in der Stimme, immer noch ruhig)

I fell for who you could have been

Not for what you showed

I held on to potential

While my peace eroded slow

Intensity felt like intimacy

Familiar felt like home

But alignment doesn’t beg to stay

It quietly moves on

Pre-Chorus 2

(etwas mehr Druck, Stimme steht aufrecht)

You taught my heart discernment

To see fruit, not just words

To notice when my spirit shrinks

And listen when it hurts

Chorus (wiederholen, minimal stärker, ggf. zweite Stimme eine Terz höher)

Love was the teacher…

Bridge

(erst leise → dann klar entschieden; hier passiert die innere Wende)

(leise)

If it steals my peace, it’s not from You

If I disappear, it’s not love

(steigernd)

You don’t confuse, You don’t control

You don’t demand I bleed to belong

(klar, ruhig kraftvoll)

You release me when the lesson’s done

You don’t trap me in the past

Obedience sometimes looks like leaving

And trusting You with what won’t last

(kurze Stille – Atem hörbar)

Final Chorus

(offen, weit, friedlich – kein Push, sondern Ruhe)

Love was the teacher

Now freedom’s the call

What You prepare won’t cost my peace

You never did at all

I didn’t lose love

I gained my way

The steps You order sometimes start

With walking away

Outro

(sehr leise, fast geflüstert)

When the time is right

You make it new

Endings are still

Part of Your truth
