You are my light, in the dark of night

Every moment feels so right

But there's a truth we need to face

It's hard to find our perfect place

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

We tried to make it, through the stormy days

But lost in words, we drift away

I feel your love, but doubts arise

In the silence, hear our cries

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Now I see, the path we take

All the dreams that we can make

Though the road may twist and bend

Together we will find the end

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why, it ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

You are my light, shining through the day

In your arms, I want to stay

With every beat, I feel the sway

Together forever, that’s our way.

Walking down this empty street

I can feel the change beneath my feet

Thought I needed you to stay

But now I see a brighter way

And I’m better off without your chains

Breaking free from all the pain

Found my strength, I'm standing tall

I’m better off, I’m better off after all

Memories that weigh me down

But I’ve learned to turn it all around

With every tear, I’ve grown so strong

Now I know where I belong

And I’m better off without your chains

Breaking free from all the pain

Found my strength, I'm standing tall

I’m better off, I’m better off after all

Looking back, I’ll take the lessons learned

All the bridges that I had to burn

Now I’m dancing in the light

Embracing all that feels so right

And I’m better off without your chains

Breaking free from all the pain

Found my strength, I'm standing tall

I’m better off, I’m better off after all

Walking down this empty street

With a heart that’s finally free to beat

And I’m moving on, I won’t regret

With hope and love, I won’t forget.
