Found My Smile

Soléma

[Intro]

Mmm…

Something feels different today
Like the room got a little brighter
Like I can finally breathe all the way in

Yeah…

I found my smile again

[Verse 1]

I got so used to carrying the weight
I forgot what it felt like to feel okay
Walking through my days, doing what I do
But there was always something missing underneath it all

I laughed when I had to
Kept moving along
Told myself I was fine
Told myself I was strong

But some things sit deep
Where nobody can see
And when love turns to distance
It takes something out of me

[Pre-Chorus]

Then one day the walls came down
No more keeping score
No need to count the hurt
Or remember who did more

We don’t have to fix yesterday
We can leave it where it’s been
I just know I don’t ever want
To lose this kind of love again

[Chorus]

I found my smile again
And it feels so good
Like the sun came through a window
I forgot I even had

I can breathe again
I feel lighter than I’ve been
That weight that lived inside my heart
Ain’t living there again

No, nobody makes my joy
I know that much is true
But peace with someone that you love
Can bring the light back into you

I found my smile again
Yeah, I found my smile again

[Verse 2]

I don’t need an apology
For every single thing
Don’t need to know who started what
Or what somebody meant

Some wounds don’t need reopening
Some words can stay unsaid
Sometimes healing starts the moment
You stop living in what’s dead

So from this day forward
I’m choosing something new
No looking back for reasons
To keep me far from you

We made it through the silence
We made it through the pain
And I don’t ever want to feel
That kind of distance again

[Pre-Chorus]

We don’t have to name the damage
We don’t have to prove who’s right
We can put the past behind us
And choose each other from tonight

Not pretending it never happened
Just refusing to stay there
Sometimes forgiveness is simply saying
This love is still worth care

[Chorus]

I found my smile again
And it feels so good
Like the sun came through a window
I forgot I even had

I can breathe again
I feel lighter than I’ve been
That weight that lived inside my heart
Ain’t living there again

No, nobody makes my joy
I know that much is true
But peace with someone that you love
Can bring the light back into you

I found my smile again
Yeah, I found my smile again

[Bridge]

Didn’t know how much I carried
Till I finally put it down
Didn’t know how long I’d missed me
Till my smile came back around

And forgiveness doesn’t mean
That the hurt was never real
It just means I love my peace enough
To finally let it heal

I don’t need yesterday
To agree with me today
I’m just grateful that the love survived
And we found another way

Ooh…

I feel free
I feel light
I feel something in my heart
That I haven’t felt in a while

I feel like me

[Final Chorus]

I found my smile again
And it feels so good
Like my heart remembered happiness
The way I knew it could

I can breathe again
I’m not carrying what has been
I made peace with yesterday
And I chose today instead

No, nobody makes my joy
That comes from deep within
But when the ones you truly love are near
Something beautiful begins

I found my smile again
Oh, I found my smile again

And I don’t want to lose it
I don’t want to lose us
I don’t want to carry
That kind of hurt again

From this day forward
We begin again

I found my smile
I found my smile

[Outro]

Something feels different today

The weight is gone
My heart feels light

And I’m smiling

Yeah…

I’m smiling again
