Paper star

I walked through the echoes of us in the dark

Footsteps like memories pulling me apart

Your voice was a ghost in the cracks of the floor

But I don’t go looking for you anymore

I lit a match to all our could-have-beens

Watched the smoke rise like forgotten sins

Now I’m folding paper stars

Wishing on the ones we are

Not the love that slipped away

But the light I found today

I was broken, now I breathe

Built from every scar you leave

I’m not chasing who you were

I’m learning who I am

You said the sky was too big for our wings

But I found my fire in impossible things

Tears turned to ink, now I write my own song

Every wrong turn still led me where I belong

I let go of all the might-have-beens

And danced through the ashes you left me in

Now I’m folding paper stars

Wishing on the ones we are

Not the love that slipped away

But the light I found today

I was broken, now I breathe

Built from every scar you leave

I’m not chasing who you were

I’m learning who I am

Bridge

Maybe someday you’ll see

The best part of losing you was finding me

Now I’m folding paper stars

Wishing on the ones we are

Not the love that slipped away

But the light I found today

I was broken, now I breathe

Built from every scar you leave

I’m not chasing who you were

I’m learning who I am

I’m learning who I am...

Under paper stars
