[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] She counted silence like cracked tile on the floor Each night stretched thin, a raw and endless chore Mornings bit with a dull, persistent ache No footfalls hummed where the hallway used to shake Her eyes held no spark, just a hollow, gray despair Echoes of a heartbreak, and a thousand unspoken "why"s in the air [Pre-Chorus] Her reasons trickled out like a leaking, rusted tap Faith crumbled quiet, a map with no path She clung to nothing in that hollow, empty space A ghost of the girl who used to know how to face [Chorus] Then Grace came bounding through the door Tiny paws, a heart that begged for more A Cavalier with eyes like melted sky Curled up close, where her cold side used to lie A soul she never asked for, sharp and sweet Filled the cracks she tried so hard to beat When love vanished without a trace She found a heartbeat in Grace Yeah, in Grace [Verse 2] Wet nose nuzzled through the dark’s unyielding veil Soft eyes glowed like embers, a quiet, gentle hail A rescue wrapped in fur, no fanfare, no grand speech The kind of warmth she’d forgotten how to reach Floppy ears fanned the chill from her lonely bed A soft sigh hummed where silence once had bred No lies, no vows that could ever break Just a loyal love that would never shake [Pre-Chorus] Each lonely evening bloomed with a soft, golden glow The storm inside her finally let the sunlight show The hollow in her chest stopped its constant, hungry ache For the first time in forever, she didn’t have to fake [Chorus] Then Grace came bounding through the door Tiny paws, a heart that begged for more A Cavalier with eyes like melted sky Curled up close, where her cold side used to lie A soul she never asked for, sharp and sweet Filled the cracks she tried so hard to beat When love vanished without a trace She found a heartbeat in Grace Yeah, in Grace [Bridge] When the world let go of her trembling hand That little life said, "I understand" A wag, a gaze, no words to complicate Pulled her up from the dark, stagnant weight She learned to breathe again in the rhythm of his breath A love that didn’t demand, just clung to her till death [Breakdown] Once just a girl and her shadow’s hollow hum Now she’s not alone, not even a little numb A tri-colored angel, soft and brave Finally led her to a place she could call home, at last [Final Chorus] Grace came bounding through the door Turned her tears into something worth fighting for Her fragile heart stitched back, thread by thread In the love of the friend who never fled When no one else could fill that empty space She found forever in Grace Yeah, in Grace [Outro] Grace… Was all she needed Grace… Now she’s breathing Grace… Yeah, Grace
