[Intro]
Underneath the cold neon lights, I breathe in, I breathe out
Whispers of hope in the darkest nights, searching for a way out
[Verse 1]
Born on a winter day, ’83’s chill in my veins
Walking through the shadows, trying to forget the pain
Lutz, why are you so bitter, tearing down what we built
Fighting in silence, hearts bruised, souls in guilt
[Pre-Chorus]
Every slap, every strike, leaves a mark I can't hide
Still I hold on, still I pray, maybe this is goodbye
Hoping you’ll see beyond the rage, find love in your eyes
Still I dream of better days, release from these ties
[Chorus]
Maybe this is the last time, I’ll believe in us again
Holding onto hope and mercy, against all pain
Love shouldn’t hurt, love shouldn’t break
I deserve a kinder dawn, a better break
[Bridge]
Standing on the edge, heart pounding in my chest
Seeking strength inside me, I have to forget the rest
Lutz, can you change, can you find your light
Or am I destined to fight this fight
[Outro]
From the ashes I’ll rise, my spirit will grow
No more shadows, no more tears, I’ll let go
Today’s the day I choose myself, I’ll set my heart free
A new chapter begins, where I finally breathe
