Verse 1 They celebrate the nights I’m glowing Like I finally learned to shine Hands reach out to catch the light Like they can hold what’s never mine I swore the stars were close enough To pull them down with open hands Never saw the sky was shifting While I was making bigger plans Pre-Chorus Every promise felt forever Every heartbeat raced ahead No one saw the tide was turning Beneath the light above my head Chorus Don’t mistake my phases For the whole sky I’m just turning toward a different light The moon was never any less When half of it escaped their sight Every shadow tells a story Every season leaves its mark I’ve been whole… Even when I couldn’t find My heart Verse 2 Now even lifting up my eyes Feels heavier than gravity Every color fades to silence Like the dawn forgot to reach for me The silence sounds like snowfall Covering where I have been Still the moon keeps pulling oceans Without asking where they’ve been Pre-Chorus Maybe darkness isn’t empty Maybe light is never gone Maybe every disappearing Is another way to dawn Chorus Don’t mistake my phases For the whole sky I’m just turning toward a different light The moon was never any less When half of it escaped their sight Every shadow tells a story Every season leaves its mark I’ve been whole… Even when I couldn’t find My heart Bridge The sky never called The moon Broken Only changing It never asked It to stay full Forever Only… To return Again And again Maybe… I can love Every version The night reveals Final Chorus Don’t mistake my phases For the whole sky I’m still turning toward a different light Every phase has shaped my story None could steal my soul I am every sky I’ve survived The tide still finds Its shore The light may leave… The light returns… And so do I Outro The sky keeps changing… I remain.
