Benediction (I Hope that You Feel Loved)

[Verse 1]
I don't know that you'll listen
It won't take very long
And I'm not counting on closure
But at least I've got a song

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm fine with the silence
I guess it's helping me heal
But you should keep all those photos of us
'Cause the feelings inside were so real

[Pre-Chorus]
This is my benediction
For the time that we shared

[Chorus]
Through the calluses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by the one's who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved as I did in our best moments
Bet my еyes can help you to see, things that you nevеr could
And wherever you are, that we're changing each other for good

[Verse 3]
I wouldn't be here without you
Oh, I could never deny
But when the past won't allow me to grow
Then I'm better off letting it die

[Pre-Chorus]
This is your invitation
To do better for someone else

[Chorus]
Through the calluses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by the one's who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved as I did in our best moments
Bet my eyes can help you to see, things that you never could
And wherever you are, that we're changing each other for good

[Bridge]
May you cultivate the empathy
To understand the parts of me
That I suppress to try to keep me safe
May you bear witness to
And recognize my relationship
To the divine and I just know
You can't take that away
May you cultivate the empathy
To understand the parts of me
I won't deny no matter what you say
(No matter what you say)
May you bear witness to
What I become, in front of God
(Who I become)
And everyone, I know my worth
(Everyone)
You can't take that away

[Chorus]
Through the calluses and scars
I pray your heart is softened by the one's who remind you of me
And I hope you feel as loved as I did in our best moments
Bet my eyes can help you to see, things that you never could
And wherever you are, that we're changing each other for good

[Outro]
Yeah, wherever you are, we're changing each other for good
