Through the Night

Verse 1:
City sleeps but I’m awake, your shadow’s fading slow
All the words we didn’t say, I’m letting them go
Every street we walked feels smaller without you near
But I’m learning to breathe without the echo in my ear
Pre-Chorus:
I felt lost, I felt torn, like I’d never mend
But the night reminds me even broken hearts can bend
Stars above, lighting paths, guiding me through
I’m finding pieces of me, pieces without you
Chorus:
Through the night, I’m stepping out of your shadow
Through the dark, I’m learning what I can borrow
Every tear, every fight, made me who I am
I’m moving on, I’m moving on, finding where I stand
Verse 2:
Phones off, mornings slow, I’m learning to be alone
Laughing at myself in ways I never had known
I keep your memory, but it doesn’t hold me tight
I’m chasing my own dreams, turning darkness into light
Pre-Chorus:
I felt lost, I felt torn, like I’d never mend
But the night reminds me even broken hearts can bend
Stars above, lighting paths, guiding me through
I’m finding pieces of me, pieces without you
Chorus:
Through the night, I’m stepping out of your shadow
Through the dark, I’m learning what I can borrow
Every tear, every fight, made me who I am
I’m moving on, I’m moving on, finding where I stand
Bridge:
The echoes fade, but lessons stay
I carry them gently, they guide my way
And maybe one day, I’ll smile and see
The best of us is still inside of me
Chorus / Outro:
Through the night, I’m stepping out of your shadow
Through the dark, I’m learning what I can borrow
Every tear, every fight, made me who I am
I’m moving on, I’m moving on, finally I understand

melodic, atmospheric R&B/Pop hybrid with hip-hop influences.
