My heart Melted

Verse 1)

The golden hour hits the kitchen floor

I don’t hear the city shouting anymore

I’ve been running a race I didn't choose to win

Counting every mile, wearing my skin thin

My hands are empty, my mind is finally still

Like the wind dying down on the top of the hill.

​(Pre-Chorus)

I used to think that being strong was being cold

Like a winter story that was never told

But the light is changing, the shadows are long

And I’m finding the beauty in not being strong.

​(Chorus)

And then my heart melted, like ice in the sun

I stopped looking for the battles that I’d already won

The tension dissolved, the weight fell away

In the quietest part of a long, heavy day

One moment of grace, that’s all that it took

And my heart melted like a page in a book.

​(Verse 2)

I see the world through a different lens tonight

Not as a struggle, but a soft, steady light

I used to hold my breath, waiting for the rain

Protecting my borders, managing the pain

But the doors are all open, the air is so sweet

And I’m feeling the earth move under my feet.

​(Bridge)

It’s not a weakness to let the walls down

It’s not a failure to take off the crown

The hardest of stones can be turned into sand

When mercy and peace finally take your hand.

​(Outro)

My heart melted...

Let the river run through.

My heart melted...

Everything is new.

(Piano fades out slowly)
