I'm Healing Without You - ArlenaZara
I wake up and your name still hurts
Like a bruise I never showed
Every memory finds its way
Into the places I outgrew
I used to need your voice to breathe
Now silence teaches me relief
I'm learning how to stand alone
In a heart I'm making home
I cried enough for both of us
Bled my love into the dust
Now every tear is something new
A step away from missing you
I'm healing without you
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm finding pieces of myself
In the quiet after dark
I loved you deep, I loved you true
But love shouldn't leave me blue
I'm healing without you
And that's the bravest thing I'll do
I stopped waiting for your door
Stopped asking what I'm hurting for
I let the nights pass as they are
Not every scar needs your arms
I forgive myself for staying long
For calling pain a love song
I did my best, I really tried
And now I choose me, not goodbye
I cried enough for both of us
Bled my love into the dust
Now every tear is something new
A step away from missing you
I'm healing without you
Even though it breaks my heart
I'm finding pieces of myself
In the quiet after dark
I loved you deep, I loved you true
But love shouldn't leave me blue
I'm healing without you
And that's the bravest thing I'll do
If you hear this someday know
I loved you in every way
But loving you cost me my peace
So I had to let you leave
I'll keep the good, release the pain
Let the memories gently fade
Not all endings mean defeat
Sometimes healing means retreat
I'm healing without you
Learning how to breathe again
I won't shrink myself for love
Or break to make it fit
I loved you deep, I loved you true
That part of me will always prove
I'm healing without you, you
And I'm finally choosing me too
I don't need you to survive
I'm healing
And I'm alive
And I'm alive
