Verse 1
Your words still echo in my chest,
A poison I can’t quite forget.
You call it love, but it’s a cage,
And I’m the fire you tried to tame.
Pre-Chorus
I built my world around your pain,
Lost myself to hide the shame.
But somewhere in the endless night,
Another soul began to shine.
Chorus
Even if I catch the light,
It burns against the chains I fight.
I reach for hope, I taste the flame,
But guilt still whispers your name.
Even if I fall tonight,
I’ll crawl my way back to the sky—
Even if I catch the light,
I’ll learn to let the dark behind.
Verse 2
He came like sunrise through the storm,
Gentle hands, but his fire warm.
He saw the cracks beneath my skin,
And showed the strength I had within.
Pre-Chorus
You hate the glow that set me free,
The part of me you couldn’t keep.
But I won’t bleed to make you see,
That love should never feel like grief.
Chorus
Even if I catch the light,
It burns against the chains I fight.
I reach for hope, I taste the flame,
But guilt still whispers your name.
Even if I fall tonight,
I’ll crawl my way back to the sky—
Even if I catch the light,
I’ll learn to let the dark behind.
Bridge
I used to think your arms were home,
But love should never feel like stone.
And though I walk through fire and fear,
I see the dawn, it’s drawing near.
Final Chorus
Even if I catch the light,
I’ll hold it close, I’ll hold it right.
No more chains, no endless fight,
I’m not your shadow—
I am the light.
