Verse 1] I kept your picture in a frame of gold, Told myself the story I was sold. You said come home, don’t worry, don’t fight, But I was fading into the dark night. [Pre-Chorus] You wanted calm while I held pain, Your comfort became my hurricane. And I kept praying you would see— But it’s me who had to finally see. [Chorus] I finally see you, and you’re not who I dreamed, The hero I saw was a ghost in between. You wanted control, not a queen by your side, Now I see the truth, and I won’t hide. No, I finally see you— and I finally see me too. [Verse 2] You said, it’s just stream of consciousness, But it sounded like fear in a fancy dress. You offered safety, but I felt shame, And I kept on loving just to take the blame. [Pre-Chorus 2] Now I can breathe, the sky feels wide, No more shrinking just to make you right. I walked through fire, came out clean, Lost the dream but found my wings. [Chorus] I finally see you, and the mirror’s clear, The spell is gone, I’m still here. You wanted a concubine, I wanted a star, I finally see how blind we are. But I finally see you— and I finally see me too. [Bridge] No bitterness, no rage, Just the closing of a page. You were chasing power, I was chasing peace, Now I’m the storm that found release. [Final Chorus] I finally see you, and I set you free, The story ends where I start to breathe. No more waiting to be chosen, I’m already the fire, the sea, the open. I finally see you— and I finally see me too. (soft outro:) Yeah, I finally see… and I’m free.
