She Thought It Must Be Love
Verse 1
Sixteen and the world was waiting
Every promise sounded true
Every smile looked like forever
Every boy knew what to do
She believed the words they whispered
Believed every shining line
Never knowing some hearts borrow
What they never meant to find
Chorus
She thought it must be love this time
The way she did before
Another face, another promise
Standing at another door
She kept giving away pieces
Trying to become enough
Looking for a home in strangers
Calling loneliness love
Verse 2
There was the rebel with the motorbike
The dreamer with a band
The smooth-talking one from London
Who never held her hand
Every goodbye left a scar line
Every lesson cost a tear
Still she carried hope like sunlight
Into every new year
Chorus
She thought it must be love this time
The way she did before
Another face, another promise
Standing at another door
She kept giving away pieces
Trying to become enough
Looking for a home in strangers
Calling loneliness love
Bridge
Then one day she stopped running
Stopped believing every spark
Learned that real love isn’t fireworks
It’s a lantern in the dark
Final Chorus
Now she knows what love looks like
It doesn’t shout or shine
It stays when days are ordinary
And walks beside her life
All those wrong turns on the journey
Led her where she was meant to be
The girl who kept on falling
Found the love that let her be free
