[Verse]
Eighteen candles, burnin' slow in the haze,
She been trapped in the dark for so many days,
Bruises on her spirit, they don’t fade with the nights,
Found a demon in a man, traded love for the fights.
[Verse 2]
She didn’t dream, dreams were foreign to her,
Saw only pain with the needle’s murmur,
The streets named her, but they ain’t know her soul,
A pure diamond lost in a pile of coal.
[Chorus]
But there's light in her heart, warmth in the frost,
Still beatin’ strong, even when feelin' lost,
He saw the beauty, the spark she’d buried,
In the ocean of hurt, her anchor's been carried.
[Verse 3]
He spoke peace, words like honeyed balm,
Held her tight, ‘til her chaos turned calm,
Guided her steps from the edge of despair,
Ain’t love on the surface; this love lived there.
[Bridge]
From broken glass, she started to rebuild,
Every scar a story, every crack healed,
No longer sold, she ain't no man's chain,
Freedom whispered like a song in the rain.
[Chorus]
There's light in her heart, warmth in the frost,
Still beatin’ strong, even when feelin' lost,
He saw the beauty, the spark she’d buried,
In the tide of her pain, her dreams now ferried.
