Healing Word

Verse 1 Another night of holding pieces Trying not to let them fall Everybody sees the armor Nobody sees the cracks at all Hit points low and hope running thinner Running out of ways to pretend I was searching for a miracle You just showed up as a friend ⸻ Pre-Chorus No shining armor No grand design Just the right words At the right time ⸻ Chorus You don’t have to save me You don’t have to fight my wars You just said my name like it mattered And somehow I could stand once more One healing word One light in the dark Sometimes that’s enough To restart a broken heart One healing word ⸻ Verse 2 The dragons weren’t the problem The monsters never were It was all the doubt and silence That I carried through the hurt You never promised answers You never claimed to know You just stayed when it got ugly When everybody else let go ⸻ Pre-Chorus No resurrection No magic cure Just somebody reminding me What I’m fighting for ⸻ Chorus You don’t have to save me You don’t have to fight my wars You just said my name like it mattered And somehow I could stand once more One healing word One light in the dark Sometimes that’s enough To restart a broken heart ⸻ Bridge (Everything drops to piano and synth) You never slayed the dragon You never wore the crown But every time the world got heavy You were there to help me carry it somehow And every time I hit the bottom Every time I thought I’d lost You reminded me that giving up Would cost more than the scars it cost ⸻ Breakdown (Drums return, building steadily) One voice… One hand… One reason to get up again… ⸻ Final Chorus You don’t have to save me You don’t have to fight my wars You just said my name like it mattered And suddenly I wanted more One healing word One light in the dark Sometimes that’s enough To wake the fire inside my heart One healing word That’s all it was… And somehow it was everything. ⸻ Outro Hit points low… Hope restored… One healing word…
