Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
I walk in a glow I never asked for
every step a whisper in the dark
People turn their faces like they know me
but they only feel the fire in my heart
I learned how to smile without believing
learned how to stand where shadows fall
If they reach for me, I never know
if they want me
or the light that answers every call

[PRE-CHORUS]
I’m not aloof, I’m just afraid
of the love that bends but doesn’t stay
I shine without meaning to—
and it pulls the wrong ones through

[CHORUS]
I am the light I never chose
burning bright where the darkness grows
A deadly grace in a borrowed glow
a heart that wants but never knows
If you see me, see the woman, not the flame—
I’m more than the radiance in my veins

[VERSE 2]
I move like a blade through the silence
trained to strike before I’m seen
But the hardest battles are the quiet ones
the ones that cut me in between
I’ve been wanted more than I’ve been trusted
I’ve been praised more than I’ve been held
And every touch feels like a question—
is it me
or the power they felt

[PRE-CHORUS]
I’m not distant, I’m just unsure
if love for me can still endure
I shine without trying to—
and it blinds the honest truth

[CHORUS]
I am the light I never chose
burning bright where the darkness grows
A deadly grace in a borrowed glow
a heart that wants but never knows
If you see me, see the woman, not the flame—
I’m more than the radiance in my veins

[BRIDGE]
If I dimmed this glow, would you stay?
If I lost this fire, would you fade away?
I don’t want devotion born of power—
I want a hand that holds me
in the quiet hour

[FINAL CHORUS]
I am the light I never chose
burning bright where the darkness grows
A deadly grace in a borrowed glow
a heart that wants but never knows
If you love me, love the woman, not the flame—
I’m more than the radiance in my veins
More than the radiance in my veins
