V5.5

[Verse 1] I wore your words like lead Turned them over in my head You said, “I do not love you now” And the room went dead I kept the table set For a life that never came Ten years of trying to breathe Through a broken chest [Pre-Chorus] I built these walls so high You cannot reach me there But every brick still knows your name Every crack still cares [Chorus] How do I live again? How do I love again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain How do I trust your hands? How do I trust again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain [Verse 2] We talk like passing trains Same house, different rain I see your face at dinner And I swallow pain I was not meant to stay Frozen in that day But some old cuts keep opening When you look my way [Pre-Chorus] I want my heart unclenched I want my mind at peace I want the ghost of us to sleep And let me breathe [Chorus] How do I live again? How do I love again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain How do I trust your hands? How do I trust again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain [Bridge] Maybe healing is not a door It is a shore I reach for slow Maybe I do not need your yes To learn how to let it go If I fall, let me fall Into the days before the ache I am tired of carrying A marriage made of break [Chorus] How do I live again? How do I love again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain How do I trust your hands? How do I trust again? I forgive you now But I still feel the pain [Outro] I am still here I am still here One small step One small step
