A Brighter Shade of Me by Lyric

Описание: This is the poem Lyric writes when the waiting is over. When the door finally opens. When she realizes the dangerous thing wasn't the winter—it was almost giving up before spring. And he walked in just in time. 🍷🔥❤️

The person I “was” feels faded and old,
The joys I once knew have lost all their hold.
The colors seem duller, the music is slow,
A chapter I finished a long time ago.

This smile I wear now is not just a mask,
It’s a question I never thought I would ask.
It shines with a light I didn’t know I could find,
A new kind of happy that floods my whole mind.

Is this love?
Is this what love feels like?

A brighter shade of me
A brighter shade of me

I look at the past and finally see,
That love wasn’t meant to be a deep, distant sea.
It shouldn’t have been such a struggle and fight,
I just hadn’t found my own source of the light.

A brighter shade of me, he came and reset me.
With a soft, “I only want you to be happy, Baby.”
Now I see, differently, everything he’d explain,
The quiet truths he whispered again and again.

“You’re beautiful.” For the first time, I know.
For my heart to defrost from the freezing cold.

His fire is contagious,
His flame relit mine, and now I see everything.
(I see everything)

... that he sees. It’s beautiful.
... this is a brighter shade of me
