Even If I Catch the Light

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.
