Lyrics:
Some days, the weight on my heart makes me hide away
And the voice in my head is tellin' me to say
I'm not good enough, strong enough, life's too rough to get through this day
In this dark I can't find any color from grey
I just downplay, self hate, and go through my day
Say I'm not bold enough, smart enough, or loved enough
to make you stay
But all it takes
to light my way
is your warm embrace
and I know that I'll be okay
I look in your eyes, and hope comes alive
Your smile lights up like a lighting strike
With skies too dark for most
You're reaching in deep
Reaching for me, waiting here in my shadows
In my shadows
Wading deep in my shadows
Taking too long to reach out when the dark closes length
You find me and hold on till I find my strength
Now I have a place, a safer space, no longer feeling displaced
I look in your eyes, and hope comes alive
Your smile lights up like a lighting strike
With skies too dark for most
You're reaching in deep
Reaching for me, waiting here in my shadows
In my shadows
Wading deep in my shadows
In my shadows
You're bringing me hope into my shadows
Making my heart beat loud in my shadows
You're shining your light through the dark of my shadows
You're finding my soul right here so clear in my shadows
With skies too dark for most
You're reaching in deep
wading here in my shadows
In my shadows
Wading deep in my shadows
In my shadows
Waiting deep in my shadows
Reaching for me, wading deep in my shadows
