Lyrics
[Verse 1] You packed up your half of the dresser Left your mug on the kitchen sink I watched the door close like a movie Then the silence got too loud to think Stayed up scrolling through our pictures Counting every flaw I’d ever had Thought if I was just a little better Maybe we’d still have what we had [Pre-Chorus] I blamed myself for both our shadows Carried every word like weight But somewhere in that empty bedroom I heard my own voice say [Chorus] After you I found me In the cracks In the quiet In the hardest weeks Yeah I bled But I could finally see All the parts I kept on hiding just to keep the peace You were a chapter Not the ending Losing us became the blessing Thought I broke But I got free ’Cause after you I found me [Verse 2] I hit rock bottom on a Tuesday Crying on my best friend’s floor Didn’t recognize my reflection Just your echo in my jaw My core Started walking ’round the city Headphones on But the sound was mine Learned to sit inside the silence Till the knots untied with time [Pre-Chorus] Stopped rehearsing every moment Like a trial in my head Started talking to that stranger Like someone I hadn’t met [Chorus] After you I found me In the cracks In the quiet In the hardest weeks Yeah I bled But I could finally see All the parts I kept on hiding just to keep the peace You were a chapter Not the ending Losing us became the blessing Thought I broke But I got free ’Cause after you I found me [Bridge] I don’t hate you I don’t miss us (not like that) I just thank you for the mirror I never had (oh) You were the storm that cleared the air Now I know my worth And it starts right here [Chorus] After you I found me In the scars In the healing In the shaky knees Yeah I cried But now I finally see I was so much more than who I was afraid to be You were a chapter Not the ending Losing us became the blessing Thought I broke But I got free Yeah After you I found me (found me) After you I found me
