Love me in the Light

(Verse 1)

You say I couldn’t love you in the dark,

But baby, I was there from the very start.

I held you close when the lights went low,

You were slipping, I just couldn’t let go.

I saw the pain you tried to hide,

Every silent tear you cried.

But you turned away, pushed me out,

Left me drowning in your doubt.

(Pre-Chorus)

You think I walked ‘cause I couldn’t feel,

But girl, I stayed when it stopped being real.

I gave you all, while you held back,

Still I kept us on the track.

(Chorus)

I loved you in the light, even when it burned,

Tried to hold on through the lessons we learned.

You needed night to cover the scars,

But I gave you love beneath the stars.

I didn’t fade, I didn’t hide—

You just couldn’t meet me eye to eye.

I loved you in the light,

Even when you lived in the dark.

(Verse 2)

You wanted something easy to leave,

So you painted me cold, made yourself believe.

But I was warm in every touch,

It was you who said it hurt too much.

I never asked you to shine like before,

Just to open that heavy door.

But you closed it slow, said you had to go—

Left your silence like snow.

(Bridge)

Now you sing like you were the one alone,

But baby, I was the one who turned to stone.

You say goodbye like I didn’t fight,

But I bled trying to keep you in the light.

(Chorus)

I loved you in the light, even when it burned,

Tried to hold on through the lessons we learned.

You needed night to cover the scars,

But I gave you love beneath the stars.

I didn’t fade, I didn’t hide—

You just couldn’t meet me eye to eye.

I loved you in the light,

Even when you lived in the dark.
