Where I Land

Verse 1)

I used to pray you’d choose me

Even when you made it clear

I was loving through confusion

You were never really here

Stayed too long in almosts

Built a home in what-if’s

Now I’m sweeping out the echoes

Of a love that didn’t fit

(Pre-Chorus)

I was shrinking just to keep you close

Lost my voice but you still wanted more

Now I hear me when I’m all alone

And it sounds like something worth holding

(Chorus)

I’m finally where I land

Not falling for empty hands

Not begging for half of love

I’m whole enough as I am

You don’t get to call me back

I don’t even sound like that

I outgrew who I was

And I love me more than that

(Verse 2)

I don’t check for your name now

Silence don’t feel the same now

It used to scream, now it sings

Like I traded pain for peace somehow

And I don’t hate you, I just see you

Clearer than I did before

You were never what I needed

Just a lesson I ignored

(Pre-Chorus)

I was drowning in a love too thin

Held my breath just to stay within

Now I breathe and it don’t hurt my chest

Guess that’s what it means to finally rest

(Chorus)

I’m finally where I land

Not falling for empty hands

Not begging for half of love

I’m whole enough as I am

You don’t get to call me back

I don’t even sound like that

I outgrew who I was

And I love me more than that

(Bridge – soft, layered)

If you saw me now

You wouldn’t recognize

The girl who stayed too long

Don’t live here anymore

I made peace with the silence

Turned the pain into guidance

Now my heart don’t chase

It just knows what’s mine, yeah

(Outro – airy)

I’m not lost anymore

I’m not yours anymore

I’m exactly where I’m meant to be
