"Home" lyrics

"Home"

You hurt me more than words could say
But I stayed and made a home
I was built to love not leave
Even when I felt alone
You used the warmth I gave you
Like it was yours to spend for free
But every scar you gave my heart
Was a deeper strength in me

And I forgave you every time
Not 'cause I was weak but brave inside
You took my love and crossed the line
But I still stood by your side
Each time I let you in again
You came back harder, cold as stone
But I was never made to run
I was made to make a home

You called it fate when things went wrong
But you knew just what you did
Not by chance, it was your choice
And still I always let you in
I never ask a perfect love
Just honesty and grace
But you wore my kindness like a mask
And vanished without a trace

And I forgave you every time
Not 'cause I was weak but brave inside
You took my love and crossed the line
But I still stood by your side
Each time I let you in again
You came back harder, cold as stone
But I was never made to run
I was made to make a home

This pain
It wasn't mine to carry
It was yours alone
