Circles and Scars

"It was never enough… I was never enough…" I built a castle on shifting sands Each brick a dream crushed in your hands Every word a storm tearing me apart You rewrote the story etched on my heart But I kept on trying While the walls kept dying The weight of your shadow Still lingers in my mind I was breaking I was bending Chasing love unending Every try a scar every hope a lie Running circles just to say goodbye Left with echoes of who I'd been A shadow of trust a hollowed skin Through fleeting faces and borrowed nights I stitched myself with fragile lights But each flame faded Every promise jaded How do you learn to hold on When you've let it all go? I was breaking I was bending Chasing love unending Every try a scar every hope a lie Running circles just to say goodbye Each fall taught me how to stand Each wound carved lessons in my hands From love that burned to love that healed I learned the truth that time revealed I am standing I am mending Found the love unending Every scar a guide every hope alive I've stopped the circles and I've learned to fly And now your hands hold me steady and true No walls to climb no masks to undo I've found a place where I can stay With you I've finally found my way "I've found my way… I'm finally okay…"
