The War Is Over

[Intro – Ambient guitar delay, heartbeat kick] Yeah… the war for my soul’s still raging on, But I’m learning… how to live with the scars. (Guitar echoes rise like morning light.) [Verse 1 – Reflective tone] It was all a dream built on lies and illusion, Every second with you — just another delusion. Used me, abused me, left me for dead, Tried to kill my hope, mess with my head. You wanted me deleted, I could feel it, I swear, But I’m still breathing — you’re not there. You’ve taken 3 lives that I can’t get back, I’ve not stopped keeping track. [Pre-Chorus 1 – Drums begin to build, guitars shimmer] You walk away when you’re called out cold, Hide behind stories that you sold. Blame everyone but your own reflection — But I found peace in the resurrection. [Chorus – Lifting, anthemic, forgiving tone] I’m done with you, and that’s okay, The echoes fade, but I’ll be brave. You gaslight me, said my truth was wrong, Now I sing it out — my final song. Your comfort came from my regret, I’ve learned to live, I won’t be easy to forget. [Verse 2 – Subtle groove, hopeful undercurrent] You twist the knife, then act divine, Play the saint while crossing lines. But I’ve built something from the fall, A better man who lost it all. I can only be held by hands that heal, Loved by hearts that know what’s real. My peace is gold, my fire is kind — I’ve left your shadow far behind. [Pre-Chorus 2 – Drums open wider, delayed guitars soar] I hope one day your heart finds grace, When the truth looks you in the face. Cuz the man upstairs will judge -- Your perfect record is finally smudged. [Chorus 2 – Stronger, brighter, full-band rise] I’m done with you, and that’s okay, The echoes fade, but I’m here to stay. You gaslight me, said my heart was wrong, But I found my truth, and I’m moving on. Your comfort came from my regret, I’ve learned to live — I won’t be easy to forget. [Bridge – Instrumental break / emotional build] (Guitar solo swells — open chords with delay and reverb. Strings lift beneath.) (softly spoken) You fed on my silence, you lived off my pain, But love shouldn't be a battle. No more saving, no more doubt, I found my way… I’ve figured it out. I’ll be loved completely or not at all, And I’m finally not waiting for your call. [Final Chorus – Full stadium sound / acceptance & release] I’m done with you, and that’s okay, I forgive the past, I’ll find my way. You said I was broken, but I’m not yet, I’m stronger than you’ll ever get. Your comfort came from my regret, But now I rise — I won't be easy to forget. [Outro – Gentle fade, ambient guitars echoing into space] You’ll reach for me when the lights all fade, But I’ll be gone, unafraid. The war is over… and I’m free. (Guitar delay repeats the last note until silence.)
