I held a name inside my chest exhausted, looking for a place to rest I carried that weight through endless seasons mistaking heartbreak for honest reasons I thought real love was meant to bruise the kind you chase because you’re scared to lose I thought it needed time to bloom at last but some things only open once you let them pass I let go the love of my life It opened my eye so I could see what my heart always knew love doesn’t need proving to feel true and now it’s easy just to realize the way it grows in quiet, honest lines I’m choosing the love for my life Now I speak gently to my own heart tell it there’s no need to fall apart because he reaches with no demand and life feels softer when I take his hand I don’t miss what slipped right through my fingers some truths fade fast, but some ache still lingers and fate won’t open doors we beg it to restore Because I learned there is so much more I let go the love of my life It opened my eye so I could see what my heart always knew love doesn’t need proving to feel true and now it’s easy just to realize the way it grows in quiet, honest lines I’m choosing the love for my life And in the end it wasn’t losing, it was grace opening my heart, creating space for love that walks in quietly, yet stays like roots that settle deep and interlace You’re a tree growing in my chest soft branches the place to rest I let go the love of my life It opened my eye so I could see what my heart always knew love doesn’t need proving to feel true and now it’s easy just to realize the way it grows in quiet, honest lines I’m choosing the love for my life
