Burn Softly

I don’t cry like I used to I learned how to breathe in the fire Every scar tells the truth now I survived my own desire I gave my heart too freely Thought love meant losing control But I found myself slowly In the cracks of my soul I burn softly Not to disappear I shine even when You’re not here I burn softly I won’t fade away If you love me Love me this way I used to beg for answers Staring at a silent phone Now I dance with my shadows I finally feel at home If you walk into my world Know I won’t shrink my flame I can love you deeply But I won’t play your game I burn softly Still strong inside I don’t need to break Just to feel alive I burn softly I choose my light I won’t dim myself To fit your night Maybe love isn’t painless Maybe it never was But I won’t be afraid Of who I’ve become If you stay, stay honest If you leave, I’ll be fine I’ve been alone before And I still learned to shine I burn softly This heart is mine I love without fear This time I burn softly Hear me say I’m not lost I’m brave
