[Chorus]
I was heartbroken, you came in like a shadow at night,
Couldn't see you, but it all worked out right.
Every day, I fall for you more and more,
Now I wake up grateful, yeah, I'm yours.
Dark skin, but you shine so bright,
Opened up my heart, led me into the light.
[Verse 1]
I was numb, movin' through the motions,
Cold nights, heart lost in the ocean.
You showed up like a verse in a prayer,
Didn't even know love could live there.
Guard up, but you tore down the wall,
Taught me how to rise every time I fall.
You ain’t save me, just reminded me I could,
That’s real love—raw, deep, understood.
[Chorus]
I was heartbroken, you came in like a shadow at night,
Couldn't see you, but it all worked out right.
Every day, I fall for you more and more,
Now I wake up grateful, yeah, I'm yours.
Dark skin, but you shine so bright,
Opened up my heart, led me into the light.
[Verse 2]
You the kind that don’t need a crown to rule,
Soft voice, strong mind—never played the fool.
We talk dreams, now we painting 'em bold,
Turning all this silver into gold.
I used to doubt if I deserved this kind,
But your love speaks peace to my mind.
You the calm in my storm, the beat in my rhyme,
Now I know real things come in time.
[Bridge/Breakdown]
You didn’t fix me, you showed me how to heal,
How to feel joy and be real.
You didn’t promise forever with words,
But every action you took, I heard.
[Chorus – final with ad-libs like Nicki style]
I was heartbroken, you came in like a shadow at night (yeah),
Couldn't see you, but it all worked out right (woo).
Every day, I fall for you more and more (you know),
Now I wake up grateful, yeah, I'm yours (facts).
Dark skin, but you shine so bright (so bright),
Opened up my heart, led me into the light (led me in).
