Where The Light Found Me

I was breaking in the quiet,

Holding pieces in my hands.

You were sunlight through my window

When I swore I'd lost my chance.

I'd been learning how to fake it,

How to smile into the ache...

But you touched the part of me

I didn't know was still awake.

Heart on the floor,

I didn't want more-

But you opened the door

Like you'd been here before...

And every fear I held so tight

Started melting in your voice...

You made broken feel like something

That could still become a choice.

'Cause you loved me

Right where the light found me,

In the shadows I kept hidin'

From the world that tried to drown me.

You held on

When I let go of me-

When the weight was too heavy,

You were steady, you were free.

And I swear I finally see

The truth that saved me...

I wasn't lost-

Just waitin' for where

The light found me.

I was tangled in my memories,

Trying hard to outrun ghosts.

You said healing isn't pretty-

It's the battle scars we boast.

And I felt your heartbeat anchor me

In ways I've never known...

You made safety feel like something

I deserved to call my own.

Tremblin' inside,

Nowhere to hide-

But your hand in mine

Made it all collide...

And every part of me that shattered

Found a reason not to fall...

You turned "barely holdin' on"

Into standin' ten feet tall.

'Cause you loved me

Right where the light found me,

In the fear I kept protected

From the world that never crowned me.

You held on

When I lost sight of me-

When my faith hit the floor,

You were more than I could be.

And I swear I finally see

The truth that saved me...
