Changed the Lock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left the door half-open when you walked away I packed the truth in boxes I could never name Now every road I take has pieces of that night But I keep moving forward with the wrongs made right [Pre-Chorus] I learned to carry less than what I used to hide The weight is still familiar, but it stays behind [Chorus] I’m not the one you knew before I changed the lock, I closed the door Some scars became the proof I needed I lost my way, then found a reason If the past comes calling, let it ring I won’t trade tomorrow for anything I’m still here, still breathing Different now, but not defeated [Verse 2] The mirror caught a stranger with my mother’s eyes He looked like someone broken, but he didn’t lie I gave myself permission not to understand Some things become a lesson before they become plans [Pre-Chorus] I learned to carry less than what I used to hide The weight is still familiar, but it stays behind [Chorus] I’m not the one you knew before I changed the lock, I closed the door Some scars became the proof I needed I lost my way, then found a reason If the past comes calling, let it ring I won’t trade tomorrow for anything I’m still here, still breathing Different now, but not defeated [Bridge] Maybe healing isn’t clean Maybe peace arrives in pieces I can miss who I had been Without asking him to lead me [Final Chorus] I’m not the one you knew before I changed the lock, I closed the door The hurt became a road beneath me The fear got tired of trying to keep me If the past comes calling, let it ring I won’t trade tomorrow for anything I’m still here, still breathing Different now, but not defeated [Outro] I’m still here Different now Still moving forward
