The year that changed me

Verse 1

This year started with a broken heart,

Standing in the ruins of the life I thought was ours.

Twelve years of memories packed into boxes,

Trying to be strong while everything was falling apart.

I didn’t know where I was going,

I didn’t know who I’d become.

I just kept putting one foot forward,

When every step felt hard to run.

Pre-Chorus

There were nights I cried myself to sleep,

Days I barely recognised me.

But somehow through the storm and fear,

I made it here.

Chorus

Oh, what a year, what a beautiful mess,

The hardest days somehow became my best.

I lost a future, found my soul,

Found pieces of me I didn’t know.

Oh, what a year, what a wild ride,

I survived every tear I cried.

Now I’m standing here stronger than before,

The girl who was broken doesn’t live here anymore.

Verse 2

I learned how to be alone again,

How to find peace inside my skin.

Morning coffees, long walks home,

Learning that I could stand on my own.

Then life surprised me when I least expected,

Reminding me my story wasn’t finished.

Funny how the world keeps turning,

Even when your heart is learning.

Pre-Chorus

The pain didn’t disappear overnight,

But little by little I found the light.

Chorus

Oh, what a year, what a beautiful mess,

The hardest days somehow became my best.

I lost a future, found my soul,

Found pieces of me I didn’t know.

Oh, what a year, what a wild ride,

I survived every tear I cried.

Now I’m standing here stronger than before,

The girl who was broken doesn’t live here anymore.

Bridge

Here’s to the nights I thought I’d never survive,

The mornings I got up and tried.

Here’s to the version of me who held on,

When she felt like she had nothing left to hold.

She had no idea,

How strong she really was.

Final Chorus

Oh, what a year, what a beautiful mess,

A thousand lessons hidden in the stress.

I lost some things, but I found myself,

And I wouldn’t trade that for anything else.

Oh, what a year, what a wild ride,

I finally see it with different eyes.

Every goodbye led me here somehow,

And I finally like who I am now.

Outro

This year didn’t break me.

It built me.

And that’s my favourite plot twist of all.
