Verse 1:
I used to shine, I used to glow
A beacon in the night
But now I fade in whispers low
A shadow in the light
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, I’ve been fighting all my life
In the corners of my mind
It’s like every step I take
I’m running out of time
Chorus:
In the mirror, I see someone else
A fragment of the girl they knew
With every breath, a hollow shell
I’m chasing dreams I can’t pursue
Post-Chorus:
Oh, the weight I carry, all alone
It’s a burden I can’t hide
Living with these pains unknown
Feeling like I’m undefined
Verse 2:
I’ve got secrets deep within
That no one understands
Masked by smiles so paper-thin
I reach out trembling hands
Pre-Chorus:
Every morning is a trial
With the scars that I conceal
I’m longing for a sign
A way to finally heal
Chorus:
In the mirror, I see someone else
A fragment of the girl they knew
With every breath, a hollow shell
I’m chasing dreams I can’t pursue
Bridge:
Oh, I wish I could be stronger
Find the strength to stand up tall
But these chains hold me down longer
In the silence of it all
Chorus:
In the mirror, I see someone else
A fragment of the girl they knew
With every breath, a hollow shell
I’m chasing dreams I can’t pursue
Outro:
So if you see me fading, know
I’m fighting for my life
A shadow, yet I’m trying so
To rediscover light
To rediscover light
