Lyric

I kept the curtains closed for days

Afraid the morning knew my name

The mirror held a stranger’s eyes

Still searching for a place to hide

But through the cracks around my heart

A quiet color found the dark

So let the daylight touch my face

Let it reveal what I could never change

I’ve carried every wound this far

They do not make me less than who we are

I won’t erase the nights I knew

They led me somewhere honest, somewhere new

And even if my voice still shakes

I’ll sing until the whole sky wakes

I used to wear their words like chains

And make myself apologize for pain

But every time I lost my way

A stronger part of me remained

Now all the doors I feared to cross

Are opening beyond the loss

I’ll leave the old reflection there

The one who learned to vanish into air

I’m not the shadow they once saw

I’m every fragile thing that still stood tall

The road ahead may bruise my feet

But for the first time, it belongs to me

I feel the silence breaking wide

There is a universe inside

No, I was never incomplete

I only couldn’t see

The light I begged the world to give

Was always part of me

So let tomorrow know my name

I’m done mistaking loneliness for shame

Every scar beneath my skin

Is proof of every life I chose to live

And when the darkness comes again

I’ll meet it as myself, not who I’ve been

I’ll throw my heart into the sky

And let it burn—

Beautiful and bright

This is where the fear will end

This is where the light begins
