After Everything Lyrics
I got scars I still don’t talk about
Nights I barely made it out
Learned too young how pain can change
The way a heart beats in your veins
I spent years trying to be what they wanted
Stay quiet just to feel wanted
But every time I lost my voice
A part of me disappeared with the noise
Now I’m done apologizing for surviving
The hardest years of my life
So if you’re here to love me, love me honest
Love me loud
Love me when my world falls down
After everything I’ve been through
I still believe in love
Even with these shaking hands
And a heart that’s been cut up
And if you let me,, I will hold you like nobody ever did
Be a safe place you can run to
When your soul gets hard to live
I don’t care what people think anymore
I finally found my peace
So if the whole world turns against us
You can still find home in me
I don’t wanna just survive now
I wanna find a little somehow
Laugh too loud,, cry when I need
Stop treating softness like a weakness in me
And maybe I’m still healing slowly
Maybe someone will still control me
But I’m proud of who I became
Through every loss, through every flame
‘Cause pain didn’t destroy my heart
You taught me how to love this heart
You don’t got to earn your place with me
I know what it’s like to beg for peace
After everything I’ve been through
I still believe in love
Even with these shaking hands
And your heart that’s been cut up
And if you let me,, I will hold you like nobody ever did
Be the safe place you can run to
When your soul gets hard to live
I don’t care what people think anymore
I finally found my peace
So if the whole world turns against us
You can still find home in me
