Verse 1 Why did my heart grow heavy When you said you'd leave today? You've been here for seven days, And I wished you'd go away. I thought I'd feel relieved When the moment finally came, But somewhere underneath it all, I still remember your name. Pre-Chorus Maybe love can still remain When trust has learned to grieve. Maybe letting go and holding on Are both things I can't resolve. Chorus I want peace before anything, Peace deeper than the pain. I don't want to live in chaos, I don't want to lose myself again. If love can be restored by truth, Then let the truth begin. But if there's no repentance, I'll choose peace and walk away. Lord, give me peace before anything. Verse 2 I said we'd start again someday, I meant it when I spoke. But starting over isn't simply Saying, "Let's forget the past." There are wounds that need confession, There are promises to repair, There are doors that must be closed for good, And honesty must live there. Pre-Chorus I don't need another promise That disappears with time. I need a life that bears the fruit Of turning back to You. Chorus I want peace before anything, Peace deeper than the pain. I don't want another cycle Of the same old tears again. If love can be restored by truth, Then let the truth begin. But if there's no repentance, I'll choose peace and walk away. Lord, give me peace before anything. Verse 3 Real love will face the consequences, Not run from what it broke. It will rebuild what was destroyed With actions, not just words. It will choose a faithful future, Even when the road is long. It will seek renewal from Your Spirit And admit where it was wrong. Bridge I still believe in restoration, But restoration has a cost. Grace does not erase the truth; It finds what has been lost. So if You bring us back together, Let it be a different life— Built on truth and faithfulness, Not fear of being alone. Breakdown And if I have to walk alone, Teach me not to be afraid. Better solitude with peace Than a love that leaves me chained. I won't close my heart forever, But I won't betray my soul. I'll leave the future in Your hands And trust You with what I cannot control. Final Chorus I want peace before anything, The peace that only You can give. If there's repentance, let it flourish. If there's healing, let it live. If our marriage can be rebuilt, Let faithfulness make it new. But if the road must separate us, I'll still trust my life to You. I want peace before anything, Not bitterness, not revenge. Just a heart that's free from chaos, And a soul that's whole again. Whatever happens after this, My hope will rest in You. I'll love with open hands, Lord— And let Your wisdom lead me through. Outro You said you're leaving after lunch... And somehow I still feel the ache. Maybe love hasn't disappeared; Maybe it simply changed its shape. I don't know what tomorrow holds. I don't know where this story ends. But I know what I need now: Peace. Truth. Faithfulness. And You, Lord, before anything.
