[Verse 1]

I’ve been caught in the echoes of my mind,

Twisting words that were never unkind.

The scars I wear, they speak so loud,

Drowning truth in a shadowed crowd.

[Verse 2]

But I’m learning to listen with a heart that’s clear,

Tuning out the voice of fear.

Your words don’t need my walls to climb,

I’m giving love the space and time.

[Chorus]

Now I can hear what you really meant,

Not what my brokenness invents.

No more reading between the lines,

Or making your kindness feel unkind.

The weight is gone, the truth is near,

I can finally hear what’s sincere.

[Verse 3]

It’s not easy to silence the ache,

To untangle the past and the mistakes.

But every word you say, I hold it still,

Learning to trust, to let it heal.

[Verse 4]

No longer lost in a self-made maze,

I see your love in a brighter haze.

No suspicion, no defense,

Just your honest, good intent.

[Chorus]

Now I can hear what you really meant,

Not what my brokenness invents.

No more reading between the lines,

Or making your kindness feel unkind.

The weight is gone, the truth is near,

I can finally hear what’s sincere.

[Bridge]

Every wound was a lens, distorting the view,

But I’m cleaning the glass, seeing the new.

Your voice is steady, your meaning true,

I’m hearing the love I almost withdrew.

[Chorus]

Now I can hear what you really meant,

Not what my brokenness invents.

No more reading between the lines,

Or making your kindness feel unkind.

The weight is gone, the truth is near,

I can finally hear what’s sincere.

[Outro]

The silence is warm, the noise is gone,

I hear your heart and I belong.

No more twisting what’s heaven-sent,

I hear your love, and what you meant.
