Holy words tell me
If you wanna find your life
You first gotta lose it
But I need you to sell me
On how the pain gives meaning
I need you to prove it

Cause now it just hurts
I can't believe I lost him
He's gone
We checked all the right boxes
Made all the right moves
He a worthy king
But I a lowly pawn

I've lost the one I love
And just as much
I feel I've lost my life
So what words from above
Can heal the hurt
Overcome the strife?

What's left to be found?
I treasure nothing anymore
Those holy words ring hollow
Don't tell me what's in store

And yet

I remain strong
Though I so deeply long
To hold him again
For even a day
I let him go freely
And I know
It's true what they say
All will be right

So now I just pray
To endure this long night
With a hope shining bright
That tomorrow
I'll find my way

For things we lose
Have a strange way
Of coming back again
So in the end
The loss will be
Worth the pain
To jumpstart
This breakaway
