(Verse 1 – hushed, almost spoken) They told me I was chosen, A gift beneath the skies. They wrapped me in the starlight, And said, “Now go and fight.” They handed me a promise, A name I didn’t choose— Called it power, called it purpose, But never asked what I would lose. --- (Pre-Chorus – voice breaking slightly) And every time I lift this light, Something in me fades. A little more of who I was Gets buried by the blade. --- (Chorus – aching and quiet) This magic isn’t mine— It sings in someone else’s voice. It pulls me where I don’t belong And leaves me with no choice. I wear it like a second skin, But it never quite fits right. It’s a crown I never asked for, That only glows when I ignite. --- (Verse 2 – weary, raw) I tried to run, Tried to find a door, But even in the stars’ own prison, They still call me “more.” Like I’m some savior— Like I’m still whole. But they don’t see the fractures This war carved in my soul. --- (Pre-Chorus – louder, frustrated) And every time I raise this light, I feel my name grow thin. I don’t know who’s left behind The armor that I’m in. --- (Chorus – stronger, but still filled with pain) This magic isn’t mine— It burns with someone else’s flame. It tells me who I have to be But never asks my name. I smile like they trained me to, But I’m breaking from the weight. It’s a spell that looks like destiny… But tastes a lot like fate. --- (Bridge – stripped down, almost whispered) What if I don’t want to fight? What if I don’t want to shine? What if I just want to be… Something quiet, something kind? --- (Final Chorus – fragile, rising near the end) This magic isn’t mine— It saved me, cursed me too. I never asked to be the light That others march into. But here I stand with trembling hands, A soldier dressed in stars… Still wishing I could find myself… Before I fall apart.
