I learned to stand where you placed me Smile like nothing could break me Every shadow erased in your glow You said, “This is what love looks like” Soft hands, controlled in white light But I never felt seen… just shown You held the switch, I played the role Every piece of me you chose In your lightbox… I looked alive Every color amplified But somewhere in that perfect sight I disappeared inside In your lightbox… I lost my name Every smile felt the same You framed a version I couldn’t fight And called it love in light I heard the crowd but felt alone A thousand eyes, but not my own Every moment staged to feel real You loved the way I reflected Every flare redirected But you never asked how I feel You held the truth outside the frame Only loved me when I changed In your lightbox… I looked alive Every color amplified But somewhere in that perfect sight I disappeared inside In your lightbox… I lost my voice Every silence wasn’t choice You shaped a world that felt so right But never let me fight If I step out… will I fade away? If I go dark… will I have a name? I don’t know who I am without your light… Oooh~ In your lightbox… I looked alive Every color amplified But all that glow just blurred the lines Between your truth and mine In your lightbox… I gave my soul Just to fit inside your mold Now I’m standing in the night… Trying to find my own light Oooh~ You needed something bright to hold… I just needed to be known…
