I wasn't always this independent. I used to believe that losing someone meant losing a part of myself. It took a few broken relationships to understand the difference between needing someone, wanting them, and simply loving having them in my life.
I used to blame them, and sometimes they blamed me. Looking back, those experiences shaped who I am today.
This song is about realizing that when you spend your life seeing yourself through someone else's eyes, you forget how to see the world through your own.
And in a strange way, it's also a thank you to the people who taught me that, even if they never meant to.
Mantra: Remember that my experiences are what made me a sigma.
[VERSE]
The porch light dies when you leave
Your empty coat can't warm me
I search for footsteps through the rain
I need you to stay
[CHORUS]
I could beg outside your door
But my heart's not made of glass anymore
I could pray that you and I become true
But I can live if living is without you
[VERSE]
The porch light flickers when you leave
Your empty coat still warms me
I listen for footsteps through the rain
I want you to stay
[CHORUS]
I could beg outside your door
But my heart's not made of glass anymore
I could pray that you and I become true
But I can live if living is without you
[VERSE]
The porch light shines when I think of you
Your empty coat brings warmth to me
I smile at footsteps in the rain
I'd love you to stay
[PRE-CHORUS]
I blamed the cracks on you
You blamed the cracks on me
The sharpest blades are forged in the hottest flames
[CHORUS]
I could beg outside your door
But my heart's not made of glass anymore
I could pray that you and I become true
But I can live if living is without you
I could beg outside your door
But I've learned that lesson before
I could pray that you and I become true
But if it's real, I shouldn't have to
I could beg outside your door
But my heart's not made of glass anymore
I could pray that you and I become true
But I can live if living is without you
