Your light was too beautiful

Like a blinding light
you stood inside my door
you saw every wish
deep inside my eyes

Someone like me
had never crossed your way
I fell into a feeling
so beautiful

Too great the joy
too tight the bind
I believed
that love was in your hands

Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright

too bright for me
inside a false glow

I lost myself
while you kept me small

You read inside me
like an open book
turning pages
piece by piece

And on those pages
I found my wounds

my wounds

My laughter suddenly was not enough
inside my eyes you only saw the grey
Your words grew fragile, heavy in the air
You said that once I had been stronger than today

My friends were never good enough for you
every question felt like a betrayal

Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright

too bright for me
inside a false glow

I lost myself
while you kept me small

But something deep inside began to rise
a spark of clarity
quiet and loud

A voice beneath the ruins

You won’t be heard here
You won’t be heard here

What I feel is real
what I see is not a dream

And in the silence I can hear myself
for the very first time

You won’t twist my truth again
I am leaving this room

Your light was too beautiful
your light was shining bright

too bright for me
inside a false glow

But now I stand here
and I am mine again

You will not break me
I rise again
you will not break me

Never again dominance
Never again dominance

From your ashes I will rise

rise
rise

stronger than ever before

You will not break me
I rise again

Never again dominance
Never again dominance

I rise above
stronger than ever before

Never again dominance

From your shadow I will rise

And finally I can see
the real light again

stronger
stronger
stronger than ever before
