Streetlights fading one by one
Night is almost overdone
Cold air sitting on my skin
Like a place I’ve never been
Shadows stretching on the floor
Don’t feel heavy anymore
All the thoughts that kept me down
Start to lose their weight somehow
There’s a quiet in between
What I was and what I’ll be
In this moment, I can breathe
Like the dark is letting me leave
Right before the dawn breaks
I can feel my heart change
All the nights I couldn’t face
Start to drift away
In the pale light rising
I don’t feel like hiding
Maybe I’m not that far gone
Now the night is gone
Sky turns into silver lines
Soft and slow, a fragile sign
Every second feels so clear
Like I’m finally waking here
Didn’t know I held so tight
To the pieces of the night
Now I watch them fall apart
With the morning in my heart
Nothing loud, nothing rushed
Just a healing in the hush
Every breath feels like enough
Like I’m learning how to trust
Right before the dawn breaks
I can feel my heart change
All the nights I couldn’t face
Start to drift away
In the pale light rising
I don’t feel like hiding
Maybe I’m not that far gone
Now the night is gone
If I stayed inside the dark
I would never see this part
Where the light begins to grow
From the places I let go
First light falling on my face
Like a quiet kind of grace
I’m not lost the way I was
I survived the night because
