Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was drowning in the silence
Fighting wars inside my mind
Holding on to broken pieces
Thinking love would heal with time
Every word became a weapon
Every night another scar
I kept reaching through the darkness
But your heart was way too far
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame myself for every moment
Every tear that hit the floor
Tried to force what God was closing
Kept on knocking at that door
But He whispered in my spirit
"Son, let go and trust my hand"
Now I'm finally understanding
What I couldn't understand
[Chorus]
Sometimes losing what you wanted
Is the way your soul gets saved
Sometimes heartbreak is the highway
To the blessing that He made
God gave me my peace back
Pulled me from the pain
Put my heart on the right track
What broke me won't define me
His light came and found me
Right where the dark tried to blind me
Now I can breathe again
I don't need revenge
I just need to heal within
What's left was never meant to last
Thank God for the hurt
'Cause God gave me my peace back
[Verse 2]
I was loving from a wounded place
That's why it cut so deep
Giving all my soul away
And losing all my sleep
But every lesson has a purpose
Every storm reveals the sky
Sometimes people leave your life
So your faith can learn to fly
I don't hate you, I just know now
We were never built to stay
And I forgive the way it ended
I release it all today
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not carrying that pressure
I'm not feeding no mistakes
I'm too close to what God promised
To keep breaking for a break
Sometimes endings are beginnings
He was setting something free
Had to lose the wrong connection
So the real me could be me
[Chorus]
God gave me my peace back
Pulled me from the pain
Put my heart on the right track
What broke me won't define me
His light came and found me
Right where the dark tried to blind me
Now I can breathe again
I don't need revenge
I just need to heal within
What's left was never meant to last
Thank God for the hurt
'Cause God gave me my peace back
[Bridge]
No more crying over closed doors
No more begging love to stay
If it costs my mental health
I'll walk away
No more doubting what He showed me
No more forcing what won't fit
I found healing in surrender
And I won't lose myself again
[Chorus]
God gave me my peace back
Turn my tears to strength
And put the fire in my soul back
I'm stronger than the old me
The pain had to break me
So His grace could come and hold me
Now I can smile again
I can trust His plan
I can finally live again
What's left was only in the past
Thank God for the hurt
'Cause God gave me my peace back
[Outro]
Yes, God gave me
My peace back
