I Survived Loving You - ArlenaZara
I gave you all the pieces of me
Every heartbeat, every scar
I stayed when you were distant
Loved you even from afar
I carried your shadows in my arms
With the tears I couldn't show
I whispered prayers for your love
Even when it refused to grow
I believed in every maybe
Held on when you let go
I lost myself in your silence
But I learned what I know, no
I survived loving you
Even when it broke me apart
I survived every heartbreak
That tore at my heart
I held on through the storm
Through the lies and the pain
I survived loving you
And I'll never be the same
I waited for your honesty
For a love that could stay
But you chose your own freedom
And slowly walked away
I learned how to cry alone
How to pick up all the pieces
But surviving doesn't mean forgetting
It means I keep believing
I carried hope like a flame
In a wind that blew too strong
I realized love can hurt
And still make you grow
I survived loving you
Even when it tore me apart
I survived every heartbreak
Every silence, every scar
I held on through the storm
Through the lies and the pain
I survived loving you
And I'll rise again
Maybe loving you was a lesson
Maybe it was my way to learn
That hearts that break completely
Can still find a place to burn
I'm stronger for the nights I cried
For the mornings I stayed awake
I survived loving you
Now my heart is mine to take
I survived loving you
But I'll never need your love again
I survived the sorrow
I survived the pain
I'm holding my own way
I'm freeing my own name
I survived loving you
And I'll never be the same
I survived
And I will love again
But this time
Is for me
