Too bright to hold

Verse 1

Scared you away, yeah I know I did

Saw it in your face when the truth slid in

You talk sweet sugar but it tastes like sin

Pretty little lies wrapped in velvet skin

Love bombs falling like fireworks

But I see the wires and the way it works

You play the game, you rehearse the words

But I don’t flinch, no it doesn’t hurt

Pre-Chorus

You hate the way I read your mind

Every mask you wear I’m tearing off tonight

You can’t control me like the rest

That’s why you’re running, that’s why you left

Chorus (big, catchy)

I’m too bright to hold, too real to fake

You can’t touch fire and not feel the ache

You want my heart but you lose control

When you look my way, I’m gold, I glow

We can’t be friends, we cross that line

Too much truth and too much time

You love me close but you let me go

’Cause I’m too bright… too bright to hold

Verse 2

You know you can’t bend me like them

No strings on my hands, no puppet limbs

Every trick you try just hits the floor

You ain’t got power here no more

My aura shining, yeah it cuts so clean

Mirror to everything you don’t wanna see

You say “let’s stay cool, let’s just be friends”

But we both know how that story ends

Pre-Chorus

Every glance got history

Every touch sparks chemistry

We pretend but we both know

This ain’t something we can control

Chorus

I’m too bright to hold, too real to fake

You can’t touch fire and not feel the ache

You want my heart but you lose control

When you look my way, I’m gold, I glow

We can’t be friends, we cross that line

Too much truth and too much time

You love me close but you let me go

’Cause I’m too bright… too bright to hold

Bridge (half-time / softer then build)

Maybe in another life

We’d be simple, we’d be right

But we burn too hard, too wild, too fast

Some flames just aren’t built to last

Then you whisper “stay”…

But you step away…

Final Chorus (bigger, layered)

I’m too bright to hold, too real to break

You see your reflection every move I make

You love me deep but you lose control

So you walk away from the glow

No we can’t be friends, it’s black and white

Too much heart and too much light

You’re scared of truth, you’re scared of soul

’Cause I’m too bright… too bright to hold

Outro

Yeah, I scared you away

But you knew my name

Fire don’t fade… it just glows
