Stronger than before

She woke up to another morning Coffee cold and the silence loud He never saw her heart was burning Just walked past her with his head in clouds She cooked his meals kept the world in order Cleaned the mess he never tried to see Worked all day just to cross the border Of a love that never let her be free She whispered to the mirror “Girl you’re worth so much more” Packed her dreams inside a suitcase headed for the door Cause she’s stronger than before She’s done fighting for a love that ain’t love anymore He only needed her to stand and serve But she finally learned what she deserves Now she’s walking toward a man who’ll open every door Who’ll hold her like a treasure he’d never ignore Yeah she’s leaving all that hurt behind She’s stronger than before He came home asking where his dinner’s waiting Didn’t notice she was breaking piece by piece He kept taking never once creating A place for her heart to feel at ease She dreamed of hands that pull her closer Eyes that see her soul and not a chore So she left the life that felt like closure And opened up a chance for something more “No more fading into shadows no more feeling small” She said softly as her tears dried she was done with it all Cause she’s stronger than before She’s done fighting for a love that ain’t love anymore He only needed her to stand and serve But she finally learned what she deserves Now she’s walking toward a man who’ll open every door Who’ll hold her like a treasure he’d never ignore Yeah she’s leaving all that hurt behind She’s stronger than before One day she’ll smile at the sunset With a love that lifts her high And she’ll thank the scars that taught her How to spread her wings and fly Cause she’s stronger than before Found a heart that beats for hers and nothing less or more He sees her worth in every word she speaks Loves the fire burning in her dreams Now she’s living in the light she always waited for With a man who’d cross the oceans just to love her more Yeah she finally left the pain behind She’s stronger than before
