Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 It feels good for a second Then I hold my breath Like something’s gonna take it Like it never lasts You smile and I flinch I don’t know why Happiness feels like A goodbye Pre-Chorus I’ve learned not to trust the calm Not to lean in too far Every time I feel okay I’m waiting for the dark Chorus I’m afraid of the light When it finds me Afraid it’ll leave If I let myself believe I don’t know how to be happy Without counting the cost Every time I feel something good I’m scared of losing it all Verse 2 I keep one foot in the sadness Just in case So when it disappears I won’t break You say “stay right here” Like it’s safe But joy feels temporary Like it’s made of glass Pre-Chorus I don’t know how to open my hands Without watching it fall I don’t know how to feel okay At all Chorus I’m afraid of the light When it holds me Afraid it’s not mine Afraid it’s lonely I don’t know how to be happy Without losing control Every time I let myself feel I’m afraid of the fall Bridge Maybe I don’t need forever Maybe I don’t need proof Maybe I can let it be real Even if it’s brief and it’s true But my heart keeps whispering “Don’t you dare get used to this” Like happiness is something I’ll be punished for Final Chorus I’m afraid of the light But I’m tired Of living my life In the dark If this joy is a moment I’ll take it Even if it breaks my heart I don’t know how to keep it I don’t know if I’m right But I’m trying not to run From the light Outro If I lose it someday At least I felt it tonight
