(Verse 1) Thirteen years is a long, long time to share a space A faded map with roads you can't erase I'm standing in the wreckage, the smoke is finally gone Picking through the pieces, learning to move on It wasn't all for nothing, it wasn't all a waste Just a bittersweet and complicated taste (Chorus) And I've got nothing left to prove, nothing left to say Just walking toward the dawn of a brand new day With an open heart that's ready now to feel Something true, something honest, something real I'm finding peace in quiet, strength in letting go And planting seeds of kindness, watching them grow (Verse 2) The anger was a fire, it burned me to the core I locked the door on empathy, and then I locked it more But a forgiving nature isn't for the weak It's the bravest kind of language that a healing soul can speak For you, and for myself, for all the time we lost I'm letting down my armor, no matter what the cost (Chorus) 'Cause I've got nothing left to prove, nothing left to say Just walking toward the dawn of a brand new day With an open heart that's ready now to feel Something true, something honest, something real I'm finding peace in quiet, strength in letting go And planting seeds of kindness, watching them grow (Verse 3) I used to count the scars and measure out the pain Replaying every argument again and again A prisoner of memory, locked in my own head Clinging to the angry words that never should've been said But every chain is broken with a conscious choice to see The only one I'm holding captive now is me. (Bridge) The strings on this guitar, they understand the sound Of a world that’s been turned upside down Every note I write, every melody I create Is another heavy stone lifted from the gate This music is my solace, it’s my purpose and my guide There’s a universe of rhythm right here inside (Verse 4) So I walk along the shoreline here in Nassau's fading light And watch the waves forgive the sand with every single night It's a lesson in surrender, a simple, steady truth You can't reclaim the wasted days of your own fading youth But you can stand up taller, breathe the salty air, and know The future is the only place you really have to go. (Chorus) And I've got nothing left to prove, nothing left to say Just walking toward the dawn of a brand new day With an open heart that's ready now to feel Something true, something honest, something real I'm finding peace in quiet, strength in letting go And planting seeds of kindness, watching them grow (Outro) Moving forward now... with purpose. Moving forward now... at peace. The wreckage is behind me. And I've got nothing left to prove. Nothing left to prove.
