Not Every Chapter Ends Sweet

[Verse 1] You came in like rain On my open page I read every line Even the bitter parts I held on too long To a season gone thin But I learned from the hurt How to stand in my skin [Pre-Chorus] If it broke me down It built me back If it took too much It gave me that A steadier heart A quieter mind I leave some tears Where they belong behind [Chorus] Not every chapter ends sweet Not every door stays open Some lessons come clean When the old way's broken Not every chapter ends sweet But it still made me strong I carry that pain And I keep moving on [Verse 2] Now I don't rush the dawn I let it arrive There's beauty in the ash And the way I survive I don't call it loss If it made me wise Even a heavy night Can teach you sunrise [Pre-Chorus] If it bent my soul It shaped my grace If it left a mark It made some space For better days For softer fears I learned to bloom With the weight of years [Chorus] Not every chapter ends sweet Not every door stays open Some lessons come clean When the old way's broken Not every chapter ends sweet But it still made me strong I carry that pain And I keep moving on [Bridge] So let the page turn slow Let the old flame fade I found my peace In the mess it made What broke my heart Did not break my name I'm still here, baby I changed, I changed [Final Chorus] Not every chapter ends sweet Not every door stays open Some lessons come clean When the old way's broken Not every chapter ends sweet But it still made me strong I carry that pain And I keep moving on Not every chapter ends sweet (Still made me strong) Not every chapter ends sweet (I keep moving on)
