The Light I Never Saw

I walked through ash a ghost in flame
No name to curse no one to blame
A thousand scars beneath my skin
But you were warmth I kept within

Your voice - a thread I didn't see
But now it pulls the heart from me
I ran from light I chose the fall
Never knew you'd break my wall

And still you stayed
When all I gave was pain and shade
You saw through rage
Through all the war I never waged
You touched the part I tried to hide
The silent scream I kept inside
You held me close and didn't speak
And I was whole though I felt weak
Now I bleed from where I healed
A wound I swore would stay concealed

You found me buried out of breath
A soul too numb to welcome death
You called my name - I turned away
Too afraid that you might stay

But every silence that we shared
Was louder than the life I dared
And now I see through all the lies
It was you who kept me alive

And still you stayed
When all I gave was pain and shade
You saw through rage
Through all the war I never waged
You touched the part I tried to hide
The silent scream I kept inside
You held me close and didn't speak
And I was whole though I felt weak
Now I bleed from where I healed
A wound I swore would stay concealed

So let me fall if you're the ground
The only peace I've ever found
And if I break then break me slow
You're the truth I feared to know
I lived in dark I couldn't see
But love kept whispering through me
No more ghosts no need to hide
You are the flame that stayed inside
So if I burn then let it be
Cause love was always haunting me
