Spotlights

My starlight shone brighter

You couldn't take the heat

So you tossed me like a lighter

Onto happy memories

You said there's only one king

To sit upon the throne

I hope you're satisfied.

You'll be sitting there alone.

I would've given you all of me

Been all you need

But now I'm freed

My spotlight washed your darkness

Gone solo

It's the hardest

part to admit the truth

Had to cut this anchor loose

Don't blame me

Wings are spreading

Took to the sky

But I'm not getting

Anywhere with you

Holding me down

Let me fly

You can keep the crown.

You say it's love

But you only show me

When it's you that's in control

See?

You like me broken

I was hoping

You'd make me stronger

But you won't be

The angel of mercy

I always thought you were

Your words can still hurt me

Your questions of my worth

My spotlight washed your darkness

I'm better solo

Watch this spark that

Your bitter waters always drowned

I like this burning strength I've found

Don't blame me

I'm on fire

Just look away

As I burn brighter

Eternal flames

Cannot be drowned

Just let me burn

You can keep the crown
