[Verse 1] I kept the lights turned off so long Told myself I didn't belong up there Dimmed it down 'til I disappeared Still not sure if it's safe out here [Pre-Chorus] Something's breaking open in my chest Don't know if I'm ready, don't know if it's less Scared but I'm reaching through the fear — [Chorus] Trying to break free, trying to believe Maybe I could burn again, maybe not just yet I don't know if I can shine like a star tonight But I'm trying, I'm trying to shine [Verse 2] Folded myself just to fit their frame Made myself small to dull the pain Some days I still reach for that same disguise Some days I can't tell the dark from the light [Pre-Chorus] Something's breaking open in my chest Don't know if I'm ready, don't know if it's less Scared but I'm reaching through the fear — [Chorus] Trying to break free, trying to believe Maybe I could burn again, maybe not just yet I don't know if I can shine like a star tonight But I'm trying, I'm trying to shine [Bridge] Maybe I'm not there yet Maybe I won't be for a while But I'm done staying buried in the dark Even if I can't find the light tonight I'm still trying to find the spark [Final Chorus] Trying to break free, trying to believe Maybe I could burn again, maybe not just yet I don't know if I'll ever shine that bright But I'm trying, still trying to shine Still trying to shine like a star [Outro] Like a star... still trying (still reaching, still reaching, still reaching)
