Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I gave it all to a love that wouldn’t bend,
Built her a castle just to watch the wind
Blow it down like a house of cards,
Didn’t know healing could start from scars.
I called her out, she called me back,
Truth hit like a runaway train on the track.
But every fight, every tear we shed,
Led me to the life I’ve got instead.
[Chorus]
I had to go through her to get to you,
Had to walk through the fire just to find what’s true.
Had to lose my game, had to break in two,
Before I saw the love that waits in view.
She tore me down, but grace pulled me through—
Yeah, I had to go through her to get to you.
[Verse 2]
She was a storm that I couldn’t chase,
Tried to fix her pain with a warm embrace.
Gave her the best that I could give,
But no effort ever changed the way she lived.
Thought love was something I had to earn,
But you showed me how the heart can learn.
Now laughter lives where silence grew,
I didn’t know peace ‘til I found you.
[Chorus]
I had to go through her to get to you,
Had to walk through the fire just to find what’s true.
Had to lose my pride, take a different view,
To see what real love can actually do.
She tore me down, but you built me new—
Yeah, I had to go through her to get to you.
[Bridge]
Now I thank the pain for paving the road,
Thank the nights I spent alone.
I thought it was all in vain,
But heartache taught me how to change.
Now I hold your hand and I just smile—
It was all worth the trial.
[Final Chorus]
I had to go through her to get to you,
Had to fall apart to find a love that grew.
Had to lose myself, then find my truth,
In the firelight, I found the proof.
She taught me pain, but you showed me true—
Yeah, I had to go through her to get to you.
[Outro]
Now I know what love can do—
I had to go through her… to get to you.
