🎶 Lyrics :
Verse 1

I didn’t fall fast, I fell deep,
thought slow love was the safer way.
I gave you all the parts of me
that usually stay tucked away.
I told myself “this time’s different,”
said it quiet, said it strong—
Funny how I learned the truth
after holdin’ on so long.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t blame you for walkin’ out,
I knew the cost when I stayed—
Some lessons don’t come gentle,
they come the hard way.

Chorus

After loving you the hard way,
I finally see myself clear.
I gave you my whole heart open,
left nothin’ hidden here.
I don’t regret how deep I went,
or every tear I paid—
I just know who I am now
after loving you the hard way.

Verse 2

I stayed quiet when it hurt me,
called it patience, called it grace.
I kept showin’ up forgivin’
while I faded in that space.
I thought love meant carryin’ it all,
meant never sayin’ “enough”—
Turns out love don’t ask you
to bleed yourself dry for trust.

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t ashamed of how I loved,
I was honest, I was brave—
But I won’t lose myself again
just to make somebody stay.

Chorus

After loving you the hard way,
I learned the sound of my own name.
I won’t beg, I won’t disappear,
I won’t carry all the blame.
If love comes back around someday,
it’ll meet me halfway—
’Cause I know who I am now
after loving you the hard way.

Bridge

Maybe love ain’t meant to save you,
maybe it’s meant to show—
Where you end and where you begin,
and when it’s time to let go.

Final Chorus

After loving you the hard way,
I stand taller than before.
I didn’t lose my heart to you,
I just learned what it’s for.
I’ll love again, but I’ll love right,
with nothin’ left to prove or say—
Yeah, I found myself in the pieces
after loving you the hard way.

Outro

Yeah…
Some love breaks you open
so you don’t break again.
