Light is Coming Back
I only wanted someone to see
The little light still burning in me (ahhhh)
I never thought I wanted love I only wanted to be seen
When the night covered everything A small light stayed in me
Where did all that love go
The love I saved myself
I ask it over and over
No answer comes around
I can't write like I used to
Every word slips from my hand
All the voices cross inside me Till I forget where I began
What happened to the girl I was What made her disappear Maybe
she gave too much away Just trying to stay here
She is here
She is here
Even broken, she is here
One small step
One breath,
one day She can choose another way
The sun keeps coming back again And the light is coming back
again (ohhh)
She didn't vanish all at once She just got tired of being
unseen
Turned away from the whole wide world Though she felt everything On
a silent afternoon She tries to feel okay
Her mind stays fixed on someone As her heart fades away
She wants the warmth of another touch But lets nobody near
Unsteady in the pages With no ending in sight
Once she waited for a hero
Now she's learning how to fight
Maybe she can save herself One breath,
one day
Even when the night calls out She can choose another way
She is here She is here
Even aching, she is here
One small step
One breath,
one day
She can choose another way
The sun keeps coming back again And the light is coming back
again (ohhh)
They don't erase what happened They don't promise gentle days
But they ask for nothing from her
Except keep going anyway
Healing may not mean returning
To the girl she used to know
Maybe it is someone new
From the pieces left below
She may still lose her way sometimes But underneath it all
Her heart is turning toward the light She is not whole
But she is here
And that is enough for now
The story has not ended The next page waits to be filled
She is here She is here
And the light is coming back again (ahhhh)
