Who You Are

A Safe Place

Text:
[Verse 1]
She danced in the glow of a borrowed light,
Living on crumbs from the edge of the night.
Famous by name, not by her own,
A shadow beside a man on a throne.

Flashes and whispers, a life on display,
But no one stayed when she slipped away.
A smile that hid what no one could fix,
Drowning alone in a glass full of tricks.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Verse 2]
Rooms full of people, but no real friend,
Living a tale that had no end.
They called her wild, they called her weak,
But never asked what truth she’d speak.

Used and framed, just Z-list gold,
Her pain sold cheap, her soul turned cold.
A girl with dreams the world erased,
A bottle for comfort, a ghost to chase.

[Chorus]
Now she’s a last headline, fading fast,
A memory built not meant to last.
Two years on, no flowers remain,
Just silence echoing louder than fame.
She burned for the crowd, but they weren’t kind—
Now she’s a story they’ve left behind.

[Bridge]
There’s a cost to the camera’s cruel caress,
And she paid it all in loneliness.
Not a villain, not a saint—just lost,
In a world that trades truth for gloss.

[Outro]
So rest, forgotten girl of the light,
You fought your demons every night.
They took your voice, they took your name,
But you were more than sorrow and shame.

Last Headline

I Broke My Heart For The Plot

The heart break you feel when you go from lovers to strangers again

Strangers Again

All my thoughts tried to catch a taste
Of holding on
And my way closer
The whole finesse in they dance apart

I dove deep into you
Discovered wounds and scars I also carry
We got hurt at different moments
It was different people who made us this way

Our minds are always shifting
We're constantly evolving, learning
Walking and sometimes stumbling
Even falling, but rising again

Don’t let your mind break you
It’s the only thing that can make you strong
Or tear you down, stay focused
And when you feel lost, I’ll be here

I dove deep into you
Discovered wounds and scars I also carry
We got hurt at different moments
It was different people who made us this way

Don’t let your mind break you
It’s the only thing that can make you strong
Or tear you down, stay focused
And when you feel lost, I’ll be here

Like a lighthouse in the dark night (dark night)
Bringing you back to your true north 
I am your sea, your ocean, your home 
Like a lighthouse in the dark night 

Every step I took toward you
A slow and painful dance pushed you away
I know some mistakes can’t be undone
I threw you into darkness to try to be your light
But you, with your glow, made me see light
When all I saw was darkness
I know everything that starts wrong
Also ends wrong, but I’ll always be here

Like a lighthouse in the dark night (dark night)
Bringing you back to your true north 
I am your sea, your ocean, your home 
Like a lighthouse in the dark night 

Like a Lighthouse
