I used to float in someone else’s tide
Lost my fire just to keep the night alive
I stayed too long in shadows I outgrew
Broke myself just trying to be true
I gave you gold when you brought me grey
Loved like the sun but you faded away
You lit the match, then left me in the smoke
But now I shine, and you can't steal my glow
But stars don’t dim when skies go dark
And I’m still burning like a spark
You thought I’d fall, thought I’d lose my light
But I was born to fight the night
I’ve been through fires, been through rain
Held my breath and danced with pain
Now I glow, a spark reborn
You can’t cage a lightning storm
You thought I’d break, thought I’d fall apart
But I’m a riot with a beating heart
This is me, no mask, no harm
I’m the star inside my storm
I used to shrink just to make you tall
Tried to rise, but you built my fall
But now I move like thunder in the sky
You hear my name and feel the high
'Cause stars don’t beg, they don’t ask why
They just ignite and kiss the sky
I’m not the girl you thought you knew
This version shines without you too
I’ve been through fires, been through rain
Held my breath and danced with pain
Now I glow, a spark reborn
You can’t cage a lightning storm
You thought I’d break, thought I’d fall apart
But I’m a riot with a beating heart
This is me, no mask, no harm
I’m the star inside my storm
If love was a battlefield, I wore no shield
Still I rose, still I healed
No regrets, no rewind
I found my truth, I claimed my shine
I’ve been through fires, been through rain
Held my breath and danced with pain
Now I glow, a spark reborn
You can’t cage a lightning storm
You thought I’d break, thought I’d fall apart
But I’m a riot with a beating heart
This is me, no mask, no harm
I’m the star inside my storm
You can’t cage a lightning storm...
I’m the star inside my storm
