Grabbing me, touching me, holding me, loving me,
Do you know what it meant to me?
Kissing me, squeezing me, leaving me, telling me,
this is the way it needs to be.

You need to follow in their footsteps,
they set a path for you.
You won't even leave a mark,
they've got you covered.
But I'm so used to it.
I've walked this way before,
I remember the weather.

I barely feel a thing.
I didn't notice you were seeing the skies
with different eyes.
I lost mine.

You're not the same,
but I don't care.
And you're not my prince,
but I'd follow you anywhere.
There's nowhere else to go,
you make me warm when I get cold,
but that only lasts a little while.
Gone like a spark
from a fire blown out.

Why did you change me to ashes
when I once burned bright?
You didn't know your own strength,
I didn't know mine.
Fighting through the tears
to keep what remains,
keeping it inside,
to hide the pain.

I never thought this would happen-
the lights falling on me this way,
lifting my soul up,
and you are watching with those shining eyes.

The light is coming from you,
revealing all my imperfections.
You wanted it to be this way.
I'm not sure if I do.

I want to shrink,
hide under a warm blanket of darkness,
but you are still there.

The light calls to me
in a most peculiar way.
Shattering my fears
that were building to a ******.

And even though I know you are watching,
I can't reach you.
Even if you are reaching,
I can't touch you.

Your light got so bright,
it was blinding.
I cover up with a fort I built with lies,
in the night,
I look up.

I see you in the sky.
Little spots of you in me.
Little spots of hope in the dark.
