Verse 1 You left me in the quiet, no goodbye Just a door slam and a long drive I sat there with my heart in pieces Found a rhythm in the silence Every room still held your shadow Every mile still spoke your name But somewhere underneath the wreckage Something in me never changed Pre-Chorus I cursed the night, I cursed the sky Till every tear became a line And every scar became a melody... That carried me through time Chorus I found hope in the ruins In the wreckage of our flame Life broke me wide open But I chose who I became I don't want you back... I want forward I want truth, I want light I found strength in the ruins... And I'm finally burning bright Verse 2 I spent years searching for the answers In places they would never be Trying to fix what I couldn't carry Trying to save what wasn't me Then I learned love has its limits It can't choose another's road The hardest lesson life ever taught me... Was learning to let go Pre-Chorus Every crossroads left a question Every mile reshaped my view Turns out I wasn't lost forever... I was becoming someone new Chorus I found hope in the ruins In the wreckage of our flame Life broke me wide open But I chose who I became I don't want you back... I want forward I want truth, I want light I found strength in the ruins... And I'm finally burning bright Bridge I quit asking why it happened Started asking, "What now?" That's the moment everything changed That's the moment I stood my ground Some roads find us without warning Some we never would've planned But every step I kept on taking... Made me into who I am Final Chorus I found peace in the ruins Where I thought my story'd end The fire never came to claim me... It revealed the strength within I don't want yesterday... I want forward I want hope, I want life I found more than I was searching for... I found the man... Who finally chose the light. and.... damn, I'm burning bright!
