about

In the aftermath of a breakup, I learned invaluable things about myself. This song thanks my ex-partner for the role she played in my journey to mindfulness, self-compassion, and sobriety – a song of gratitude.
------------

lyrics

There's a little bit of glory in the suffering
There's a tiny spark of joy in the pain
Tried holdin’ on to love I was losing
Didn't know I had wisdom to gain

It's true that we're all chasing something
That'll give us relief and escape
There's a war that you knew I was waging
Hiding demons under a hero's cape

You let go of my hand, and walked out the door
But you led me to find what I was searching for
And I'm thankful I'm not blind anymore

And now I see – there was love in you leaving
And now I see – there was gold in the grief
And now I see – that grace, was all down to me

I was dreaming, planning for the future
Afraid to find peace with the past
You tore the next page from the story
I wanted to burn your memory to ash

It forced me to stop and remember
That I'm the author of every move that I make
Didn't believe in a silver lining
'Til the truth shone through for goodness’ sake
'Til the truth shone through for goodness’ sake

And I thank you for lighting my way
I'm healing day by day

And now, I realize why you couldn't stay
And now I see – there was love in you leaving
And now I see – there was gold in the grief
And now I see – that grace, was all down to me
Down to me, down to me

And now I see – there was love in you leaving
And now I see – there was gold in the grief
And now I see – that grace…………………
