Girl Who Loved Too Bright

(Verse 1)
I used to light up every room I walked into,
Like a spark in the dark, like I was born to break through.
I gave my fire to anyone who’d hold out their hands,
Burned myself down trying to make them understand.
They said, “Tone it down, you’re a little too loud,”
Like the sun should apologize for shining through clouds.
But I didn’t know then what I know tonight—
Some hearts don’t know what to do with light.

(Pre-Chorus)
I bent like a streetlight in a hurricane wind,
Kept giving pieces I’d never see again…
Till I heard something inside me say:

(Chorus)
I’m the girl who loved too bright,
Lit up the sky just to feel alive.
But I’m done shrinking just to fit your night—
I won’t apologize for my fire inside.
If you can’t hold me, don’t try to tame me,
I’m not too much, I’m just not your safety.
I burned out trying to dim my light…
Now I’m learning how to shine right.

(Verse 2)
I mistook every “I need you” for a chain,
Every “stay the same” for love that would remain.
But love shouldn’t ask you to disappear,
It should clap when you stand right here.
So I picked up my pieces off the floor,
Stopped knocking on locked doors anymore.
Turns out the truth was there all along—
I wasn’t wrong, just strong.

(Pre-Chorus)
And I don’t fold for comfort anymore,
I don’t shrink just to be adored…
I finally hear myself say:

(Bridge)
Maybe I was never “too much” at all,
Maybe I was just meant to stand tall.
And if loving hard was my only crime,
I’ll wear it like armor this time.

(Final Chorus)
I’m the girl who loved too bright,
But I found my way back to my own light.
No more shrinking just to fit your night—
I rise, I roar, I reclaim my right.
And if you can’t handle the way I blaze me,
That’s not my loss, that’s just your safety.
I don’t burn out when I stand my ground…
I was never meant to be turned down.

(Outro)
I was fire… I was flight…
I was always right to shine this bright.
