Mmmmhmmmmm… mmmmhmmmm…

I told myself I’d never break,

That love would come at its own pace.

But here I stand with empty hands,

Holding ghosts of old mistakes.

I swore I’d never chase a dream

That only left me lost at sea.

But I dove in, I drowned so deep,

Now I’m searching for what’s left of me.

Ohhh, I tried to run, I tried to hide,

But the past won’t stay where it died.

Every scar I swore would fade

Still burns like fire in the shade.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

If I could go back, I’d hold myself tight,

Tell the girl in the mirror she’ll be alright.

But time don’t bend, no, time don’t wait,

And love don’t always heal the pain.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

I’m learning to live with what I’ve done,

Trying to love the war I won.

I see his face in my dreams at night,

Not in love, just in the fight.

Words he spoke still haunt my skin,

Like echoes I can’t silence in the wind.

And I let them in, I let them stay,

Mistook the cage for a place to pray.

But freedom don’t come in golden chains,

And I was born to walk away.

Ohhh, I tried to run, I tried to hide,

But the past won’t stay where it died.

Every scar I swore would fade

Still burns like fire in the shade.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

If I could go back, I’d hold myself tight,

Tell the girl in the mirror she’ll be alright.

But time don’t bend, no, time don’t wait,

And love don’t always heal the pain.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

I’m learning to live with what I’ve done,

Trying to love the war I won.

Maybe one day, I’ll wake up free,

Not just surviving but finally me.

Maybe the ghosts will rest their heads,

And I won’t flinch when I hear my name.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

If I could go back, I’d hold myself tight,

Tell the girl in the mirror she’ll be alright.

But time don’t bend, no, time don’t wait,

And love don’t always heal the pain.

Mmmmhmmmm… ohhhh…

I’m learning to live with what I’ve done,

Trying to love the war I won.
