[Intro]
Flickering lamps, shadows dance on the wall
Silent battles in the corner of my mind's hall
Yearning for love in a world so cold
A story untold, a heart full of soul
[Verse 1]
It's 1912, a new dawn, a new year
Walking through the shadows, battling fear
Pages of my life, written in pain
Hoping someday, love will come again
[Pre-Chorus]
Searching through the darkness, longing for the light
Hoping my words reach someone tonight
Is there someone who’ll see beyond the scars?
Hold my heart through the wars
[Chorus]
I write my story, raw and true
Hoping someone out there feels it too
In the flickering glow of my oil lamp’s flame
Dreams of love, whispering my name
[Verse 2]
Trauma haunts like ghosts in the night
Trying to find peace, trying to see the right
Building my courage, one step at a time
Turning my pain into these lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Could my words heal, could they change fate?
Waiting for dawn to break this shadowed state
Is there a love that could look past the scars?
Hold me through the wars
[Chorus]
I write my story, raw and true
Hoping someone out there feels it too
In the flickering glow of my oil lamp’s flame
Dreams of love, whispering my name
[Bridge]
One day at a time, I’m rebuilding my soul
Seeking a place to truly feel whole
This world's so cruel, but I won't despair
In my words, I find my prayer
[Outro]
As the candle flickers, I hope to be seen
A lonely author with a dream
Maybe someday, love will find its way
Until then, I write each day
