Light Of My Life

[Verse 1]
Used to cry on the bathroom floor
Silent storms, I was keeping score
Talked soft but my doubts screamed loud
Heart cracked, tried to hide in the crowd
Then
Tiny hands on my tear-stained face
Little voices saying, “Mama, you’re safe”
Broke down, then I broke that chain
Turned my pain into propane
[Pre-Chorus]
I was so stuck in the story
Where I always lost the fight
Then you laughed, and it hit me
You’re the reason I’ll be alright (hey)
[Chorus]
When I look at my kids, that’s the light of my life
Every scar that I carry started shining so bright
I was down on the floor, now I’m winning this fight
Only moving forward
Only moving forward
When I look at my kids, I remember my why
Every tear that I wasted, I’m reclaiming tonight
Yeah, the past tried to hold me, but I cut that tie
Only moving forward
Only moving forward (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Heartbreak hit like a late-night train
Left me lost in the cold, in the rain
But your drawings on the fridge said “stay”
Stick-figure crowns, “Mom, you’ll be okay”
So I
Cleaned up all of the pieces
Glued them back, no more secrets
New rules for the love I choose
If it hurts like that, I refuse
[Pre-Chorus]
I was so stuck in the story
Where I always lost the fight
Then you laughed, and it hit me
You’re the reason I’ll be alright
[Chorus]
When I look at my kids, that’s the light of my life
Every scar that I carry started shining so bright
I was down on the floor, now I’m winning this fight
Only moving forward
Only moving forward
When I look at my kids, I remember my why
Every tear that I wasted, I’m reclaiming tonight
Yeah, the past tried to hold me, but I cut that tie
Only moving forward
Only moving forward (let’s go)
[Bridge]
No more begging love to stay
If you walk, I’ll clear the way
Got two reasons not to break
Two small hearts I won’t betray
I’ve been shattered
Now I shine
Every setback
Redesigned
Watch me dance on what I survived (hey!)
[Chorus]
When I look at my kids, that’s the light of my life
Every scar that I carry started shining so bright
I was down on the floor, now I’m winning this fight
Only moving forward
Only moving forward
When I look at my kids, I remember my why
Every tear that I wasted, I’m reclaiming tonight
Yeah, the past tried to hold me, but I cut that tie
Only moving forward
Only moving forward (only forward, only forward)
Only moving forward
You’re the light of my life
