🎶 SONG STYLE / VIBE (for Zona input) 🎵 TITLE: I Dimmed My Light ⸻ [Intro – soft, almost spoken] (minimal guitar, airy tone) I just wanted love… The kind that could hold me… See me… 🎶 SONG STYLE / VIBE (for Zona input) Genre: Acoustic Healing / Indie Soul 🎵 TITLE: I Dimmed My Light [Intro – soft, almost spoken] (minimal guitar, airy tone) I just wanted love… The kind that could hold me… See me… All of me [Verse 1 – soft, vulnerable] I built a home inside a dream Where love was safe, or so it seemed I saw the cracks, I felt the weight But called it hope instead of fate I gave you pieces of my soul Tried to make your broken whole Ignored the signs, rewrote the truth Just to keep believing you ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – gentle lift] I folded wings I used to fly Made myself small just to survive ⸻ [Chorus – emotional, still soft but fuller] I dimmed my light so you could shine Played less of me to keep you mine I gave you love, I gave you grace While disappearing in your space I bent, I broke, I crossed my lines Just to feel your love was mine But love don’t ask you to erase— The very magic that you make ⸻ [Verse 2 – slightly stronger, more awareness] I softened strength you couldn’t hold Turned down the fire, dimmed the gold Pretended I was less than truth So you could stand inside the room I knew my power scared your eyes Felt every time you pulled away inside You didn’t want to rise with me You only wanted to be seen ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – build a little more] And every time I chose your peace I slowly buried parts of me ⸻ [Chorus – more intensity, layered vocals if possible] I dimmed my light so you could shine Played less of me to keep you mine I gave you love, I gave you grace While disappearing in your space I bent, I broke, I crossed my lines Just to feel your love was mine But love don’t ask you to erase— The very magic that you make ⸻ [Bridge – stripped down, raw, almost spoken/crying tone] And my child watched me fade away Learning love should feel like pain That silence means you’re strong enough To carry more than just your own (pause / breath) But I won’t teach him how to hide Or shrink himself to feel like “right” I’m rising now, I’m taking back Every piece I thought I lacked ⸻ [Final Chorus – powerful, healing, expanded instrumentation] I am my light, I let it shine No more shrinking to be loved this time I choose my truth, I choose my space I won’t disappear to earn my place I gave enough, I paid the price Now I reclaim my full design ’Cause love should meet you where you are— Not dim the brilliance of your star ⸻ [Outro – soft, resolved, fading] (just piano or guitar again) I was never too much… I was just too bright… For someone afraid… Of the light
