You know
People look at you and think they know your life
They see the title 'single mother' and think it was a choice
Like I woke up one day and said 'yeah let me raise these kids alone'
But they don't know the nights I cried behind closed doors
They don't know the prayers I whispered so quietly
Cause even my own voice felt too heavy to hear
Ten years
Ten years of trying hoping fighting for a love
That was slowly breaking me
And the sad part?
If I stayed
It would've killed me
So I walked away
Not because I wanted a broken home
But because staying would've broken me
And one day
Maybe they'll understand
But even if they don't
God saw it all
And my healing?
Yeah it's already on the way"
I gave you ten whole years of my heartbeat
Ten whole years of my love in your hands
But love don't live where the bruises stay
Where the words cut deeper than any blade
Tried to keep my family together
Even while I was falling apart
Smiled in public like everything's fine
But cried on the kitchen floor in the dark
People talk like they know my pain
Quick to judge but slow to pray
If only they knew what it cost me
Just to finally walk away
But I chose me
Cause if I didn't leave I wouldn't breathe
I didn't plan this life alone
Didn't want no broken home
But my peace is worth more than pretending
And my life was never yours for the ending
I walked out yeah I took that leap
Now God is healing me
God is healing me
Some days I wish things were different
But broken love don't fix with time
You said forever but your actions lied
I paid the price while you crossed the line
Raising these kids with a tired heart
Still showing up still doing my part
