[Verse 1]
[M]
Born in the dust, but I reached for the stars
Palm full of hope, then they stitched me with scars
The Council said wait, but the fire said now
I watched my own doubt take a knee and bow
[F]
I saw you back then, with that hunger in your chest
Like a storm with a pulse, like a blade under stress
You said save what you love, but you couldn’t let go
And the fear got a seat in the front of the show
[M]
Obi-Wan warned me, Yoda shook his head
But I heard my own pain in the words that they said
Every lesson turned heavy, every prayer turned thin
When the light feels like loss, that’s where darkness gets in
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Tell me, baby, where you running from?
When the night comes close, do you hear it hum?
[M]
I can feel that pull
I can feel that split
One step back from the edge
And I still don’t quit
[Chorus]
[M]
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Hold my broken heart when the war begins
[F]
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Love can save a soul or it can make it sin
[M]
I’m not who I was
[F]
I’m not who you knew
Both
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Or I fall all the way through
[Verse 2]
[F]
Now the halls gone cold and the mask got a name
Darth Vader in the mirror, but the eyes look the same
You said power was peace, but it tasted like rust
Every crown in this world turns to ash in the dust
[M]
I heard Obi-Wan’s voice in the edge of the fight
Like a ghost in the smoke saying choose what is right
But the hands on my shoulders were the ones that I trust
And they led me through shadows till the shadows wore us
[F]
We were both just children with a galaxy wound
Trying to hold back the dark with a cracked little moon
And the dreams we buried still shake in the ground
When the name that you fear is the name that you found
[Bridge]
[M]
If I burn, will you stay?
[F]
If I break, will you say
Both
We can still come home
Even after the blame?
[M]
I chased my salvation
[F]
I chased your descent
Both
Now the throne is a silence
And the silence won’t end
[Chorus]
[M]
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Hold my broken heart when the war begins
[F]
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Love can save a soul or it can make it sin
[M]
I’m not who I was
[F]
I’m not who you knew
Both
Be my Padme, I’ll be your Anakin
Or I fall all the way through
[Outro]
[M]
Obi-Wan, forgive me
[F]
Yoda, hear my name
Both
Light on one side
Dark on the other side
And we’re both to blame
