My heart Melted

Verse 1)
The golden hour hits the kitchen floor
I don’t hear the city shouting anymore
I’ve been running a race I didn't choose to win
Counting every mile, wearing my skin thin
My hands are empty, my mind is finally still
Like the wind dying down on the top of the hill.
​(Pre-Chorus)
I used to think that being strong was being cold
Like a winter story that was never told
But the light is changing, the shadows are long
And I’m finding the beauty in not being strong.
​(Chorus)
And then my heart melted, like ice in the sun
I stopped looking for the battles that I’d already won
The tension dissolved, the weight fell away
In the quietest part of a long, heavy day
One moment of grace, that’s all that it took
And my heart melted like a page in a book.
​(Verse 2)
I see the world through a different lens tonight
Not as a struggle, but a soft, steady light
I used to hold my breath, waiting for the rain
Protecting my borders, managing the pain
But the doors are all open, the air is so sweet
And I’m feeling the earth move under my feet.
​(Bridge)
It’s not a weakness to let the walls down
It’s not a failure to take off the crown
The hardest of stones can be turned into sand
When mercy and peace finally take your hand.
​(Outro)
My heart melted...
Let the river run through.
My heart melted...
Everything is new.
