The Proof

Verse 1

I turned a corner I wasn’t expectin’

In a room full of nervous air

Your mama still waitin’ on answers

Time just hangin’ there

You stood up like you’d known me forever

Gave me a hug like it was safe

While the world was holdin’ its breath still

You brought a little ease my way

⸻

Verse 2

We talked like two old souls in hiding

Both learned how to fall and stand

You told me your story in pieces

I told you mine about that crash

Left on the side of the road bleeding

By the one who was supposed to stay

We talked about childhood and shadows

And the ways we learned pain

⸻

Chorus

You weren’t the answer, you were the sign

You weren’t the future, you were the light

That showed me I could be held, not just seen

You weren’t the love, you were the proof love needs

⸻

Verse 3

I felt my walls fall without tryin’

Felt calm in your arms somehow

Not because you saved me from anything

But you didn’t need to fix me to stay kind

⸻

Chorus

You weren’t the answer, you were the sign

You weren’t the future, you were the light

That showed me I could be held, not just seen

You weren’t the love, you were the proof love needs

⸻

Bridge

Then my mind caught fire, the world went fast

I lost my footing, I lost the map

Said some things I couldn’t hold

You stepped back, but I couldn’t let go

It took time for me to clearly see

But I don’t carry that shame with me

Some people come to wake you up

Not to stay, just to show you love

⸻

Final Chorus

You weren’t the answer, you were the sign

You weren’t the future, you were the light

That showed me I could be held, not just seen

You weren’t the love, you were the proof love needs
