Lyric

Before it gets too hot

Before anyone notices

I hold the flame inside me

The mark on my back

Starts to burn again

I only wanted to smile like normal

But something deep inside me

Feels like it’s breaking

These hands of mine

They were meant to protect

There’s no one I can tell

No one I want to know

But still—

I swore I’d live through this

Holding back the flame

Pretending like nothing’s wrong

Wearing this mask like it’s part of me

Even if my heart’s on fire

I won’t let it show

"Don’t worry,"

I whisper to myself again

I burned everything once

Friends, dreams… all of it

Since then

I stopped singing

By choice

But honestly…

I still want to sing

For someone

For myself

Because I believe

That one day

This power could mean something more

Holding back the flame

And still facing forward

These quiet days

Are what made me stronger

I’ll never burn anyone again

Even if this power is fire

If I can reach out

And gently hold your hand—

Then maybe that’s

My true strength
