Found in Me

I walked through the ashes of what we were The echoes of your voice still linger But I've learned to stand in the quiet now No more waiting, no more breakdowns I thought your love was all I'd need But I found my strength in the space to breathe I thought losing you would break me, but now I'm free Found the love you couldn't give me right here inside of me Every tear I cried became a stream Washing away the pain, uncovering my dream I thought losing you would end it all But losing you made me whole The mirror used to show a stranger's face Lost in shadows, in an empty space But now I see the light that always shone The part of me I'd forgotten for so long Every scar tells a story I had to know Every crack let my true self grow I thought losing you would break me, but now I'm free Found the love you couldn't give me right here inside of me Every tear I cried became a stream Washing away the pain, uncovering my dream I thought losing you would end it all But losing you made me whole I'm dancing now in my own light No shadows left, I've won the fight What I thought was love was just a chain Now I'm running free in the pouring rain It's not about forgetting you It's about remembering me too I thought losing you would break me, but now I'm free Found the love you couldn't give me right here inside of me Every tear I cried became a stream Washing away the pain, uncovering my dream I thought losing you would end it all But losing you made me whole I walk the road with open skies No regrets, no more lies What I found was more than love I found myself, and that's enough
