Another Way to Love

[Verse 1] Once you taught me how to lead, How to stand and take the heat. But the years you weren’t around Made your presence lose its sound. What I missed, I learned alone, Carrying a heart of stone. [Chorus] This is not about the two of us, That story’s written, said and done. But for the child who calls you “home,” I’ll keep the bridge, I’ll hold it strong. Not for me, and not for you— It’s a different kind of trust. Through his eyes we’ve found together Another way to love. [Verse 2] Five years passed, the silence stayed, No words spoken, nothing saved. Then I chose to write again, Not for me, but for his name. Every message, every line, Carved a path that wasn’t mine. [Chorus] This is not about the two of us, That story’s written, said and done. But for the child who calls you “home,” I’ll keep the bridge, I’ll hold it strong. Not for me, and not for you— It’s a different kind of trust. Through his eyes we’ve found together Another way to love. [Bridge] No forgiveness, no return, Just a fire that’s not my burn. What remains is not our past, But a bond that he can grasp. [Chorus] This is not about the two of us, That story’s written, said and done. But for the child who calls you “home,” I’ll keep the bridge, I’ll hold it strong. Not for me, and not for you— It’s a different kind of trust. Through his eyes we’ve found together Another way to love.
