(Verse 1)
Used to watch the door, waiting for a sound that never came
Empty promises hang in the air, a ghost of your name
I retrace the steps of a love I thought was real
Just fragments of a feeling I could never truly feel
Thought my heart was just a hollow space, a relic of the past
Thought I'd just forget the way we crashed and burned so fast
(Pre-Chorus)
And now you're standing there, with a truth in your eyes I don't recognize
My walls are up so high, they touch the sky, I'm scared to even try
Tell me why I should believe this time, you won't leave me behind
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m so tired of the ghost of yesterday, holding on so tight
But the way you look at me, it's like you're shining a new light
My heart is racing, baby, and my hands are getting cold
This could be my new beginning, a story waiting to unfold
I'm taking a risk, giving you the key to my soul
Hope you're the one that can finally make me whole
(Verse 2)
You don't rush me, baby, you let me take my time
You listen to the quiet in my thoughts and you read between the lines
It’s in the way you hold my hand, so gentle and so sure
Making me believe in a love that can actually endure
I’m still bruised and broken, but you’re helping me to mend
And for the first time in forever, I think I’m ready to begin
(Bridge)
I spent so long believing I was stuck in a faded photograph
Living in the silence of a love that didn't last
But you came and you showed me a different kind of strength
That even a shattered heart can go the distance, go the length
I'm stepping out of the shadows, leaving my doubt on the floor
'Cause for the first time in my life, I've got something to fight for
(Outro)
You make it real…
Yeah, you make it so real...
This new beginning...
Oh, I'm just so glad you're here with me...
Finally...
