Lyrics
You wore kindness like a fitted coat
Soft voice, sharp edges at the throat
Every room bent toward your light
Til standing near you meant standing slight
I laughed off every little cut
Made myself smaller just enough
Thought being chosen was enough to earn
A place beside the way you burned
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You always needed higher ground
Someone underneath looking up
And I mistook your altitude
For love
⸻
[Chorus]
I lived too long inside your shadow
Learning love could feel so shallow
You made a kingdom out of judgment
Just to wear another crown
Every room became a courtroom
Every win was watered down
Funny how your perfect posture
Still couldn’t make you proud
⸻
[Verse 2]
I learned to swallow every bruise
Laugh it off to humor you
But some lines cut too close to home
And this time I felt it move
You spoke to me like policy
Clean and careful, never deep
Like if compassion cost too much
You’d rather let me bleed in peace
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You collect people like reflections
Love them best beneath your frame
But I got tired of disappearing
To make you feel unchanged
⸻
[Chorus]
I lived too long inside your shadow
Learning love could feel so shallow
You made a kingdom out of judgment
Just to wear another crown
Every room became a courtroom
Every win was watered down
Funny how your perfect posture
Still couldn’t make you proud
⸻
[Bridge]
Maybe your warmth was just attention
Maybe your love came with a scale
Maybe I only looked beneath you
Cause I was taught that’s what friends do well
But I’m too tired to keep kneeling
At the altar of your pride
I’d rather stand alone in sunlight
Than spend one more day dimming mine
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I lived too long inside your shadow
Learning love could feel so shallow
You made a kingdom out of judgment
Just to wear another crown
Now I know that real love never
Needs somebody looking down
Funny how your perfect posture
Only hid your doubt
⸻
[Outro]
You looked tallest from beneath you
That’s the trick of narrow skies
But shadows only last forever
If no one steps outside
