Verse 1
I’m the girl who walks in with sunshine in her chest
Loyal, honest, giving you my best
Peace is what I pray for, harmony my aim
But lately with you, all I feel is pain
I try to hold it together, try to stay kind
But despair keeps creeping into my mind
Pre-Chorus
Every day feels heavier than the last
I keep wondering how long this can last
Chorus
You stole my light, I don’t recognize me
I dim myself just so you won’t see
All the things I swallow, all the ways I bend
Trying to save us while I slowly end
You stole my light, and I stayed too long
Now I’m standing here knowing something’s wrong
Verse 2
Fussing and fighting fill up our days
Sharp words flying, cutting like blades
And silence… God, the silence hurts the most
I hold my truth just to spare your soul
I ask myself late at night
Why am I holding on this tight?
Every time I reach for you
You make me feel small for wanting you
Pre-Chorus
This isn’t love the way it should be
And I think, deep down, you feel it too
Chorus
You stole my light, I don’t recognize me
I dim myself just so you won’t see
All the things I swallow, all the ways I bend
Trying to save us while I slowly end
You stole my light, and I stayed too long
Now I’m standing here knowing something’s wrong
Verse 3
We moved too fast, now I’m lost inside
Trying to read you, trying to hide
When you said “I love you,” I froze and smiled
Happy… shocked… just a little wild
Everybody wants love, that much is true
I just didn’t expect those words from you
’Cause sometimes it feels like your heart’s not here
Like you’re reaching for someone who’s disappeared
Bridge
I feel it in your touch, cold and distant
In the way your kisses feel so resistant
Passionless nights, empty sex
Every part of you screams your ex
You’re angry, frustrated, drowning in pain
