about

This is for the heartbroken and the empowered heartbreak survivors:

A relationship with someone else can break you or it can lead to finding yourself instead. This is about the heartbreak that I thought broke me but ended up saving my life and strengthen me for my future. A future - better than I could have dreamed to be.
So anyone feeling alone right now - Know that you are worthy of loving yourself and being loved for being exactly who you are!

Verse 1:
Standing barefoot on the floor
Distant memories come to pour
Of broken promises scattered all arounD
And my knees bring me back to the ground

You and I were meant to be, (you said)
Across the oceans and the seven seas
Now you say, time has come and gone
It was real – if you say so

PreChorus
You’re words were too strong
And I believed you too long

Chorus
Now it’s time for me
To walk out, leave the key
And the tears in the room
Knowing they were meant to be
Close the door
And finally be me

Verse 2:
Nothing new for me to say
You’ve packed your things and gone away
Now all that’s left are pictures on the wall
They’re the last to fall

PreChorus
You’re words were too strong
And I believed you too long

Chorus
Now it’s time for me
To walk out, leave the key
And the tears in the room
Knowing they were meant to be
Close the door
And finally be me

Bridge:
Something I could get used to
Far way from this bedroom

Chorus
Cause it’s time for me
To walk out, leave the key
And the tears in the room
Knowing they were meant to be
Close the door
And finally be me
