Where Love Still Lives

Verse 1 I remember my birthday, candles low Hands shaking as I asked you slow I didn’t have much, just hope and a ring But you smiled like it was everything Kara Knight, you said yes that day Like the world finally leaned our way Verse 2 Not long after, I came undone Dark thoughts heavier than anyone You stood by me when I lost my ground When I couldn’t speak, you heard the sound You held my hand through nights I feared When love was louder than what I feared Pre-Chorus And every time I met your eyes My heart lit up like open skies Even broken, even scared I always knew you cared Chorus I still love you, I won’t deny But love can change and still be kind I’ve learned to let you go with grace And wish you peace in every place You were my home, my truest start You’ll always live where love still lives in my heart Verse 3 Five years written in quiet ways Late-night talks and borrowed days We raised a dog, called him Koda Learned how to be more than we were older Built a life from trial and truth Trying our best, just learning youth Verse 4 And then came Thorin Knight, our light The purest love I’ve known in my life No matter where our roads may bend That love is something time won’t end I see you in the way he smiles In gentle strength, in patient miles Pre-Chorus We both love him more than pain More than loss, more than change That bond will always remain Chorus I still love you, but I’ve moved on Not because what we had was wrong Some love stays, some love transforms Into quiet hope, into softer forms I don’t need us to be the same To be grateful that you knew my name Bridge I hope you laugh without regret Find a love that feels like rest I hope the world is kind to you Like you were kind when I was bruised If you ever think of me Know I’m finally at peace Final Chorus I still love you, and that’s okay Love doesn’t always have to stay I’ve let you go, but not the good Not the moments where we stood You made my heart light up inside And for that, I’ll always be grateful …Kara Knight Outro This is me saying goodbye with care Not empty-handed, not in despair Just two lives changed by what we knew Wishing the best—for me, for you
