[Intro] I spent so long making room for the pain I forgot joy needed somewhere to stay So today... I'm moving some furniture around [Verse 1] I had a room in my heart With the curtains closed tight Kept every memory there Like I was scared of the light I gave grief the biggest space Put my happiness in the hall Every time laughter came knocking I was scared to answer the call But something changed this morning When the sunlight hit the floor I realized being happy Don't mean I love you any less than before So I opened up the windows Let the old air leave Made a little room for joy Made a little room for me [Pre-Chorus] I ain't throwing love away I ain't forgetting yesterday I'm just learning how to carry What I can't change [Chorus] I made room for joy I made room for life I made room for dancing Underneath the same sky I can miss you and still smile I can hurt and still rejoice I ain't replacing what I lost I just made room for joy I made room for joy Yeah, I finally let it in After everything I've been through I can breathe again Love ain't gone because I'm laughing Memories don't disappear I can carry them with gratitude And still enjoy being here [Verse 2] I used to think a smile Was something I had to earn Like if I laughed too loud Then somebody might think I had turned My back on everything That ever made me cry But grief ain't a prison And love ain't supposed to die So I put music in the kitchen Let it shake these walls Started dancing with my shadow Like I wasn't scared to fall I looked up at the ceiling And talked to God awhile Said, "Thank You for another day" Then I couldn't stop my smile [Pre-Chorus] I ain't throwing love away I ain't forgetting yesterday I'm just learning how to carry What I can't change [Chorus] I made room for joy I made room for life I made room for dancing Underneath the same sky I can miss you and still smile I can hurt and still rejoice I ain't replacing what I lost I just made room for joy I made room for joy Yeah, I finally let it in After everything I've been through I can breathe again Love ain't gone because I'm laughing Memories don't disappear I can carry them with gratitude And still enjoy being here [Post-Chorus] Hey! Let the sunlight in Hey! Let the good times begin I survived the storm I don't gotta live inside the rain I can remember who I lost And still celebrate who remains [Verse 3] I got scars underneath this shirt Stories underneath this skin A thousand nights I questioned If I'd ever feel again But look at me now Got my feet underneath me Got a heart still beating And a future waiting to meet me I ain't gonna apologize For finally feeling good I did enough surviving Now I'm learning how to live like I should And if tomorrow brings tears I'll let them have their say But tonight I'm turning up the music Because I made it to today [Bridge] Grief can sit at the table But it don't get every chair Pain can tell me where I've been But it don't decide where I'm going from here I can love what I lost And love what I have I can honor the past Without living in the past God, You gave me another morning So I'm gonna use it You gave me another heartbeat So I'm gonna move with it [Final Chorus] I made room for joy I made room for life I made room for dancing Underneath the same sky I can miss you and still smile I can hurt and still rejoice I ain't replacing what I lost I just made room for joy I made room for joy And I'm letting it fill the house All the windows open Ain't no darkness shutting them now Love ain't gone because I'm laughing Memories don't disappear I can carry them with gratitude And still enjoy being here [Outro] I made room for joy I made room for peace I made room for tomorrow I made room for me The ones I love Are still a part of me So I'm gonna live this life Like the gift it was meant to be I made room for joy.
