Lyrics

Title: “The Road to You”
by Violet Bernard

[Verse 1]
I spent my twenties on false starts and sparks
Burned through the pages, mistook pain for art
Fell for the teacher with a silver tongue
But love that bends always comes undone

[Verse 2]
Mom tried to help, set me up for a win
But he talked stocks while I counted the minutes
Said goodbye with a well-timed smile
And ghosted through Burbank for a little while

[Pre-Chorus]
Told myself I’d rather be alone
Than edited down to fit someone’s mold
Kept my heart like a rough-cut reel
Never finished, but always real

[Chorus]
But you —
You’re not the storm, you’re the quiet that stays
Not the chase, but the stillness in place
You don’t try to fix me, just stand near the flame
I don’t even know if you have a name

[Verse 3]
I made peace with the girls I used to be
The wild one, the soft one, the one who couldn’t breathe
And somehow, in the edit of all those nights
I found my rhythm, I found my light

[Bridge]
It’s not a fairytale, or a perfect plan
But it’s open hands, and a place to land
And if you’re real, and if you see
Know I wasn’t waiting — I was becoming me

[Final Chorus]
So if you're out there, and you ever appear
Know the road was long, but it brought me here
To this voice, this song, this quiet flame
And I’ll know it’s you — even without a name
