Verse 1

Don’t push me to my dark side,

I’m dancing with heartbreak, savoring the sting.

Every thrill comes with a price,

Every scar a story etched in my skin.

Verse 2

I met you, yet I want to meet you,

Even though these thoughts can defeat me.

Buried in my pillow, I feel the ache,

Whispered laughter, moments I can’t remake.

Pre-Chorus 1

Every step is trepidation,

Every step a landmine ready to explode.

Learning what I don’t know,

If I hide from the fire, I’m as good as cold.

Chorus

Time spares no one; it catches us all,

Still, I live fully in the pain and the fire.

Every scar, every heartbreak, every fall,

Proves I’ve truly felt, proves I’ve truly desired.

Verse 3

I ride waves that pull me under,

Laughing with ghosts, chasing love yet to be found.

Fear keeps me burning, alive like flame,

Longing for a heart I’ve yet to claim.

Pre-Chorus 2

Every step is trepidation,

Every step a landmine I can’t ignore.

If I let my guard down,

I might be nothing but a shadow on the floor.

Chorus

(slight variation)

Time spares no one; it catches us all,

But I rise through the pain, through every fall.

Every scar, every heartbreak, every fire,

Proves I’ve truly felt, proves I’ve truly desired.

Bridge

I want to meet you where the silence breaks,

Where the heartbeat trembles, and the night finally wakes.

Even if these thoughts defeat me, I’ll face them fully,

Step by step, unafraid, unbroken, wholly.

Final Chorus / Outro

Time spares no one; it catches us all,

Still, I live fully in the pain and the fire.

Every scar, every heartbreak, every fall,

Proves I’ve truly felt, proves I’ve truly desired.
