Verse 1
Twelve years feels like a lifetime,
A whole chapter of my life.
I thought forever had a name,
Never imagined things would change.
Then one day the house got quiet,
No more pretending, no more fighting.
Just me learning how to stand,
With a broken heart and shaking hands.
Pre-Chorus
There were nights I couldn’t sleep,
Wondering what was left of me.
I thought losing everything would mean,
Losing who I used to be.
Chorus
But turns out I’m okay,
Better than I thought I’d be.
The sun still rises every morning,
And life keeps surprising me.
Turns out I’m stronger,
Than the girl I used to know.
The ending I was scared of most,
Became the beginning of my growth.
Verse 2
I learned how to eat alone,
Learned how to make a place my home.
Found peace in little things,
Morning walks and coffee dreams.
The tears don’t fall like they used to,
The memories don’t hurt like they used to.
And every step I take these days,
Feels a little lighter than yesterday.
Pre-Chorus
Funny how the things that break you,
Can also be the things that wake you.
I lost the life I thought I needed,
And found the one that was waiting for me.
Chorus
Turns out I’m okay,
Better than I thought I’d be.
The girl who thought she’d never heal,
Is finally feeling free.
Turns out I’m stronger,
Than the girl I was back then.
And if I had to live it all again,
I’d still choose where I am.
Bridge
Maybe some people stay forever,
Maybe some are lessons instead.
Not every story is meant to last,
Some are meant to help you grow instead.
And looking back I finally see,
The ending wasn’t the end of me.
Final Chorus
Turns out I’m okay,
More than okay these days.
I’ve got hope where fear used to live,
And peace where there used to be pain.
Turns out life goes on,
Even when your whole world changes.
And the woman I became because of it all,
Might be my favourite version yet.
