[Verse]
In your shadow I was drowning
Couldn't see the light around me
With you gone the nights are darker
But freedom tastes kinda sweet
[Verse 2]
You tore me like a paper heart
Left me empty full of scars
Now I'm chasing who I am
In the echoes of the stars
[Chorus]
Who am I without you
Lost but trying to find the truth
Searching for a smiling face
In the cracks of my own youth
[Verse 3]
Thought you were my saving grace
But you kept me in one place
Now my wings are learning how
To take flight and embrace
[Bridge]
Will I recognize my laughter
When I'm free from all your chains
Every tear a new disaster
Still I rise from all the pain
[Chorus]
Who am I without you
Lost but trying to find the truth
Searching for a smiling face
In the cracks of my own youth
