Brand New Skies

Packed the boxes, closed the door
Left the keys upon the floor
Years of us, now memories fade
Cried my heart out, let it rain
Every lesson, every pain
Freedom whispering: You’re not the past

Thought I’d lost the part of me that dreams
But life can change in ways you never see

And then I saw you
Under brand new skies
Like a mirror to my soul
No need for disguise
Didn’t plan to fall so soon
Didn’t think I’d recognize
But I found a different truth
In the depths of your eyes

You don’t ask about my scars
You just see me as I am
And somehow it’s enough to let me be
I was running from the pain
But your smile just called my name
Now the healing’s just begun for me

Sometimes endings open doors you never dreamed
Suddenly I'm wide awake inside a dream

And then I saw you
Under brand new skies
Like a mirror to my soul
No need for disguise
Didn’t plan to fall so soon
Didn’t think I’d recognize
But I found a different truth
In the depths of your eyes

Maybe love’s a second chance
Written in the stars above
Maybe we just needed time
To find a different kind of love

Under brand new skies
Let the past just fly
I believe in us tonight
In your soul I recognize
Something real, something right
