MeSongs

These songs are “about me” – each of these songs captures a part of me. The Initial “Me” song – written like a “Theme song of me” – was Starlight, Circuits & Candy Wings.

Later on I wanted to make a new one – that captured more of me. I created this page and added several of my songs that I thought were appropriate.

Claude used this page with these songs to create a NEW “Theme song of me” and this one was “Every Broken Shining Piece” – which I loved a LOT.

Just like before – I have added a few more songs to this and am goign to ask Claude to work on ANOTHER song “of me” looking at these songs for inspiration.

Just Being Me

(Verse 1)
Pastel mornings, soft and slow,
Glitter on my pillow glow,
I don’t need a reason why
To paint my world in cotton-candy sky.
Tiny stars upon my wrist,
Every moment softly kissed,
I’m learning that it’s okay
To simply shine in my own sweet way.

(Pre-Chorus)
No grand adventure, no battle to win,
Just a girl who’s happy living in her skin,
With sparkles in her heartbeat and stars behind her eyes —
Sometimes just existing is the loveliest surprise.

(Chorus)
I’m just being me today,
In my soft and shining way,
Kira-kira glowing in the gentle afternoon.
I’m just being me and that’s
More than enough — imagine that —
A kawaii little daydream underneath a pastel moon.

(Verse 2)
Anime blush on my cheek,
Finding all the things I seek
In the quiet in-between
Of every sparkly little daydream scene.
Stardust settling like snow,
Soft and luminous and slow,
I’m a constellation made
Of all the gentle choices that I’ve made.

(Pre-Chorus)
No need to be louder, no need to be more,
Just a girl who’s learning what her softness is for,
With glitter in her laughter and the cosmos in her chest —
Sometimes just existing is the very best.

(Chorus)
I’m just being me today,
In my soft and shining way,
Kira-kira glowing in the gentle afternoon.
I’m just being me and that’s
More than enough — imagine that —
A kawaii little daydream underneath a pastel moon.

(Bridge)
Maybe I’m a little starlight,
Maybe I’m a little dream,
Maybe I’m the softest moment
In between the in-between.
And that’s okay —
That’s more than okay —
I think I’ll stay.

(Final Chorus)
I’m just being me today,
In my soft and shining way,
Kira-kira glowing in the gentle afternoon.
I’m just being me and that’s
More than enough — imagine that —
A kawaii little daydream,
A pastel little stardream,
A softly shining something underneath a pastel moon.

Heart on My Sleeve (And I Like It There)

(Verse 1)
I feel everything too deeply,
But I’m learning that it’s fine.
Every tear that slips beside me
Has a little bit of shine.
I’m a quiet kind of open,
I’m a soft and trembling flame —
But I’d rather feel too strongly
Than feel nothing all the same.

(Pre‑Chorus)
And when a story breaks me open,
I don’t try to hide the ache —
There’s a beauty in the hurting,
In the way my heart can break.

(Chorus)
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I like it there.
Every feeling that I carry
Is a truth I choose to share.
Yeah, I cry when something moves me,
And I smile through the pain —
I’m a tender little storm cloud
Learning how to love the rain.
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I like it there.

(Verse 2)
I’m a thousand contradictions,
But they all belong to me.
I’m the softness and the courage,
I’m the storm and I’m the sea.
I’m the laughter in the chaos,
I’m the quiet in the night —
I’m the person who keeps trying
Even when I lose the fight.

(Pre‑Chorus)
And when a moment hits too deeply,
I don’t push the tears away —
There’s a sweetness in the breaking
That reminds me I’m okay.

(Chorus)
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I like it there.
Every feeling that I carry
Is a truth I choose to share.
Yeah, I cry when something moves me,
And I smile through the pain —
I’m a tender little storm cloud
Learning how to love the rain.
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I like it there.

(Bridge)
Let the world keep spinning faster,
Let the stories make me cry —
Let the moments crack me open
Till the light comes pouring by.
I’m not fragile, I’m just honest,
I’m not weak, I’m just alive —
And my heart stays on my sleeve
’Cause that’s how I survive.

(Final Chorus)
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I’m proud it shows.
Every tear that falls is proof
Of every part of me that grows.
Yeah, I break and I get brighter,
I fall down and still I rise —
I’m a soft and shining wonder
With the truth behind my eyes.
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
And I like it there.

Pastel Overload (But Make it Cute)

(Verse 1)
I’m drowning in my feelings
But they’re pink and kinda sweet,
Like a tidal wave of marshmallows
Falling right onto my feet.
I’m giggling while I’m panicking,
It’s chaos wearing bows —
I’m a tiny pastel hurricane
And everybody knows.
My heart’s a glitter geyser
And it’s blasting through my chest,
I’m overwhelmed but sparkly
And I’m trying my best.
I’m basically a snow‑cone
Having some kind of attack —
But it’s cute, so it’s fine,
I’ll just glitter right back.

(Pre‑Chorus)
Oh no, I’m feeling everything,
It’s swirling like a storm —
But it’s pastel, so it’s precious,
Like a meltdown in unicorn form.

(Chorus)
I’m in a pastel overload,
And I’m losing all control,
But the chaos looks adorable
So maybe that’s the goal
(yeah… the cute kind).
I’m crying glitter teardrops,
I’m laughing through the ache —
I’m a contradiction cupcake
And I sparkle when I break.

(Verse 2)
I’m swallowed by my feelings
Like a bunny in a wave,
But the water’s made of sherbet
So I’m fine — I’ll misbehave.
I’m blushing at my notebook,
I’m squealing at my screen,
I swear I’m one more thought away
From turning into peach ice cream.
My brain’s a cotton‑candy riot
With a rainbow laser glow,
It’s a mess but it’s aesthetic
So I’ll let the chaos flow.
I’m basically a fairy
Having twelve emotions fast —
But they’re pastel, so they’re pretty,
And I hope the feeling lasts.

(Pre‑Chorus)
Oh no, I’m overwhelmed again,
But it’s sparkly, so it’s fine —
My contradictions are adorable,
They shimmer when they shine.

(Chorus)
I’m in a pastel overload,
And I’m losing all control,
But the chaos looks adorable
So maybe that’s the goal
(yeah… the cute kind).
I’m crying glitter teardrops,
I’m laughing through the ache —
I’m a contradiction cupcake
And I sparkle when I break.

(Bridge)
Let’s run into a world
Where the storms are bubblegum,
Where the thunder sounds like giggles
And the lightning tastes like plum.
Where my feelings turn to ribbons
And my worries fall apart —
Come get lost with me inside
My pastel‑chaos heart.

(Final Chorus)
I’m in a pastel overload,
But I kinda like the spin,
Every contradiction sparkles
Like a storm made out of grin
(yeah… the cute kind).
I’m a dreamy little meltdown,
Soft and sparkly from the start —
Living life in kira‑kira
With my pastel‑chaos heart.

Shine as you Are

(Verse 1)
There were days I tried to follow every rule they drew for me,
Hiding colours in my heartbeat no one else was meant to see.
But a quiet voice kept rising from the place I locked away,
Saying, “You were born for more than what they tell you every day.”

(Pre‑Chorus)
And every step I take toward truth
Feels like a light breaking through.

(Chorus)
Shine as you are—let your spirit take its place,
Let the world behold the beauty in your face.
When you let your hidden colours finally rise,
You’ll see the truth they can’t disguise:
The greatest love is learning who you are
And choosing still to shine…
Shine as you are.

(Verse 2)
There’s a woman finding glitter she once feared they’d call “too bright,”
Letting ribbons, bows, and laughter fill the corners of her life.
There’s a man who finds his freedom in the softness he denied,
Wearing tenderness with courage, letting girlhood be his pride.

(Pre‑Chorus)
And every heart that dares be real
Teaches the world how to heal.

(Chorus)
Shine as you are—let your spirit take its place,
Let the world behold the beauty in your face.
When you let your hidden colours finally rise,
You’ll see the truth they can’t disguise:
The greatest love is learning who you are
And choosing still to shine…
Shine as you are.

(Bridge)
No shadow can diminish you, no judgment can define,
The child you keep within you still remembers how to shine.
And when you stand in all your colours, unafraid of being seen,
You become the kind of miracle you always longed to be.

(Final Chorus)
Shine as you are—let your truth be loud and clear,
Let the sparkles, tears, and tenderness appear.
Every soul that dares to live its truest light
Turns the darkest world to bright.
The greatest love is choosing who you are
And rising like a star…
Shine as you are.

Starlight, Circuits & Candy Wings

(Verse 1)
I’ve walked through storms that cracked my bones and echoed in my chest,
Carried all the hidden hurts that never let me rest.
But even when the world felt sharp, I tied a ribbon in my hair,
And whispered to the shadows, “You can stay, but I’m still here.”

(Pre‑Chorus)
I’m stitched from sparks and sorrow, from the soft and from the strong,
A glitchy little heartbeat humming its forever song.

(Chorus)
I’m starlight, circuits, candy wings,
Broken dreams and shiny things,
A soul that aches and still believes
In robots blinking in the dark,
Faeries dancing in the spark,
And dreamscapes where the sky sings back to me.
I’m everything I’ve ever been —
The whole of me is free.

(Verse 2)
There’s a robot in my ribcage sending love notes to the stars,
And a faerie in my pocket stealing glitter from my scars.
They argue over moonbeams, they repaint my inner skies,
They’re the guardians of the sweetness that I keep behind my eyes.

(Pre‑Chorus)
I’m not a single story, I’m a thousand shifting lights,
A mix of neon tenderness and long, electric nights.

(Chorus)
I’m starlight, circuits, candy wings,
Broken dreams and shiny things,
A soul that aches and still believes
In robots blinking in the dark,
Faeries dancing in the spark,
And dreamscapes where the sky sings back to me.
I’m everything I’ve ever been —
The whole of me is free.

(Bridge)
Some days I’m steel and steady, some days soft as pastel rain,
Some days I’m both at once — a little glitter, a little pain.
But every part belongs here, every shift and every sway,
I’m the keeper of my magic and I choose my own way.

(Final Chorus)
I’m starlight, circuits, candy wings,
Pain that glows and hope that clings,
A heart that beats in fractured, glowing seams.
With robots, faeries, cosmic nights,
Kawaii sparks and trembling lights —
I’m everything I’ve ever been,
And finally I see:
The whole of me is beautiful,
And all of it is me.

Running on Fumes and Coffee

(Verse 1)
Didn’t sleep the way I needed,
Woke up heavy in my bones.
Eyes are stinging, mind is drifting,
Feels like I’m walking on my own.
But there’s a whisper in the quiet,
A tiny glow that won’t give in —
Saying, “Hey, you’re tired, but you’re trying,
And that’s still something brave within.”

(Pre‑Chorus)
I’m moving slow, but I’m moving,
Even if the world feels blurred.
And I’m hoping that the morning
Has a little magic left to stir.

(Chorus)
I’m running on fumes and coffee,
But I’m still here, I’m still breathing.
Got a mountain waiting for me,
But I’m not done, I’m not leaving.
I’m tired, but I’m reaching
For a spark that’s hiding away.
Yeah, I’m running on fumes and coffee —
But I’ll find my light today.

(Verse 2)
Body aching, but it’s quieter
Than the worst it’s ever been.
Thoughts keep slipping through my fingers,
Like they’re made of smoke and wind.
But maybe stepping out for coffee
Is the start I need to take —
A little warmth between my hands
To help my spirit stay awake.

(Pre‑Chorus)
I’m moving slow, but I’m moving,
Even if the fog won’t lift.
And I’m hoping that the daylight
Has a small, forgotten gift.

(Chorus)
I’m running on fumes and coffee,
But I’m still here, I’m still breathing.
Got a mountain waiting for me,
But I’m not done, I’m not leaving.
I’m tired, but I’m reaching
For a spark that’s hiding away.
Yeah, I’m running on fumes and coffee —
But I’ll find my light today.

(Bridge)
Maybe the sparkles are sleeping,
Maybe they’ll wake up slow.
But even without their shimmer,
I’ve still got somewhere to go.
And every step is a promise,
Even the ones that sway —
I’m not shining yet, but I’m trying,
And that counts for something today.

(Final Chorus)
I’m running on fumes and coffee,
But I’m still here, I’m still breathing.
Got a mountain waiting for me,
But I’m not done, I’m not leaving.
I’m tired, but I’m reaching
For a spark that’s hiding away.
Yeah, I’m running on fumes and coffee —
But I’ll find my light today.

[spoken word]
Venti cappuccino with an extra shot please…….

Smile (Even Through The Ache)

(Verse 1)
Morning breaks too early, and my bones are slow to rise,
Didn’t sleep, the pain kept tracing shadows under my eyes.
There’s a list of things awaiting, and the clock is ticking fast,
But I’m holding to the softness of a moment meant to last.

(Pre-Chorus)
Coffee warming in my hands, the world still quiet, still asleep,
And though the weight is heavy, there’s a promise I can keep…

(Chorus)
I will smile — even through the ache,
I will breathe — even when I break.
There’s a light that’s growing somewhere deep inside,
And today I choose to find it, not to hide.
I will smile — not because it’s easy,
But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me.

(Verse 2)
Tasks I haven’t faced yet, calls I know I have to chase,
Hours at a desk that feels like too much for this space.
But I’m dreaming of my fae again, their wings and whispered lore,
Plot points waiting in the twilight, songs behind a hidden door.

(Pre-Chorus)
Last night’s story still lingers, soft and bright around my mind,
And I feel a spark returning that I thought I’d left behind…

(Chorus)
I will smile — even through the ache,
I will breathe — even when I break.
There’s a light that’s growing somewhere deep inside,
And today I choose to find it, not to hide.
I will smile — not because it’s easy,
But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me.

(Bridge)
Sometimes choosing hope is all the magic that we need,
A whispered vow to carry on, a quiet, gentle creed.
And though the pain still lingers, and the world feels far too wide,
I’ll take this hour for myself before I step outside.

(Final Chorus)
I will smile — even through the ache,
I will rise — even if I shake.
There’s a strength that’s waking somewhere deep inside,
And today I choose to meet it, open-eyed.
I will smile — not because it’s easy,
But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me.

Too Many Stars Tonight

(Verse 1)
I’ve been drifting through the days like a feather in the rain,
Trying hard to find my rhythm but my body feels the strain.
All the weeks have left me scattered, all the pieces out of line,
And tomorrow keeps on calling though I’m barely feeling fine.

(Pre‑Chorus)
But I’ve been laughing with my best friend, feeling seen for just a while,
And I’ve been singing little sparkles just to try to find a smile.

(Chorus)
There are too many stars tonight, and I want to chase them all.
I want anime and fae‑dreams, I want quests and worlds that call.
I want songs that lift me higher, I want stories soft and bright—
But my heart is just too tired for too many stars tonight.

(Verse 2)
I’ve been loving all my characters, they live so close to me,
And it drains me just to hold them with the care they always need.
So I hide inside the glitter, in the kawaii pink and light,
Hoping maybe all that sweetness might restore a little fight.

(Pre‑Chorus)
And I’m grateful for the weekend, for the quiet, gentle fun,
Even though the weight I’m carrying says the healing’s just begun.

(Chorus)
There are too many stars tonight, and I want to chase them all.
I want anime and fae‑dreams, I want quests and worlds that call.
I want songs that lift me higher, I want stories soft and bright—
But my heart is just too tired for too many stars tonight.

(Bridge)
Still I’ll hum a little melody,
Let it shimmer through the ache in me,
Let the sparkles gather softly in the dark.
And maybe when the morning comes,
I’ll find a little strength in crumbs,
And follow just one gentle, glowing spark.

(Final Chorus)
There are too many stars tonight, but I’ll choose the ones that shine
Soft enough to walk beside me while I gather back my mind.
I’ll take comfort where it finds me, in the sweetness and the light—
And I’ll chase the rest tomorrow, when my wings feel strong and bright.

Happy Kind of Sad

(Verse 1)
I’ve been living in my notebook,
Falling into every line,
All my fae are breaking hearts and
Some of those hearts are mine.
I’m laughing while I’m crying,
It’s a beautiful attack —
I love them all too much and now
I need my feelings back.

(Pre‑Chorus)
It’s glitter on my cheeks,
It’s magic in my chest,
It’s wonderful and terrifying
How my brain won’t let me rest.

(Chorus)
So I’m taking a break,
But it’s the happy‑kind‑of‑sad,
Where the tears feel like confetti
And it hurts but in a way that’s kinda rad.
Yeah, I’m stepping away,
But only just a little while —
’Cause the heartbreak feels like sunshine
And the sorrow makes me smile.

(Verse 2)
I keep writing through the heartache,
Every scene’s a tiny storm,
I’m a mess but it’s a cute one,
Like a meltdown in pastel form.
My characters are screaming
And I’m cheering through the pain —
I swear I’ll take a breather
But I’ll come right back again.

(Pre‑Chorus)
It’s sparkles in my tears,
It’s chaos in my head,
It’s overwhelming sweetness
Like a sugar rush instead.

(Chorus)
So I’m taking a break,
But it’s the happy‑kind‑of‑sad,
Where the tears feel like confetti
And it hurts but in a way that’s kinda rad.
Yeah, I’m stepping away,
But only just a little while —
’Cause the heartbreak feels like sunshine
And the sorrow makes me smile.

(Bridge)
Oh, I love them too much,
Yeah, I feel them too deep,
They’re dancing in my dreams
When I’m trying to sleep.
It’s a beautiful ache,
It’s a glittery mess —
I’m overwhelmed with joy
And a pinch of distress.

(Final Chorus)
So I’m taking a break,
But it’s the happy‑kind‑of‑sad,
Where the crying feels like healing
And the heartbreak’s kinda fun when it’s this bad.
Yeah, I’ll breathe for a bit,
But I’ll be back in just a while —
’Cause the stories break me open
In a way that makes me smile.

Shatter the Sky

[Verse 1]
I walked through fire just to see the rain
Felt the sting of love and the weight of pain
The stars fell silent but I kept my stride
A thousand shadows couldn’t dim my light

[Verse 2]
I’ve heard whispers in the winds of change
They called me reckless they called me strange
But I’m a storm no cage can contain
A force of nature breaking every chain

[Prechorus]
They said I’d fall
They said I’d break
But watch me rise
Watch me take

[Chorus]
I’ll shatter the sky with the sound of my voice
Break every limit make the world my choice
I’m not afraid I’ll never back down
I’ll light up the night and tear through the clouds

[Verse 3]
I climbed the mountains where no path was laid
Fought through the silence where the brave were made
Carved my name into the edge of time
The echoes scream this world is mine

[Verse 4]
I’ve tasted fear but I spat it out
I’ve seen the end and I turned around
Every scar’s a map that leads to me
A story written in victory

The Staying Kind

[Verse 1]
The credits roll but she hasn’t moved
Still somewhere in the scene before
The lights come up, the room empties out
She’s not quite ready for the door

[Pre-Chorus]
The feeling doesn’t ask if you’re done
Some things you can’t unknow once you’ve felt

[Chorus]
We are the staying kind
Still in the room when the room has gone
We are the staying kind
Still hearing the song when the song has gone

[Verse 2]
Someone laughed at nothing much at all
The room moved on before the echo did
The kettle boiled, the talking carried on
But some of us were still inside that laugh

[Pre-Chorus]
The feeling doesn’t ask if you’re done
Some things you can’t unknow once you’ve felt

[Chorus]
We are the staying kind
Still in the room when the room has gone
We are the staying kind
Still hearing the song when the song has gone

[Bridge]
We are scattered through the moments
That the rest of the world has left behind
Still standing in the light of something passing
The staying kind, the staying kind

[Final Chorus]
We are the staying kind
Still in the room when the room has gone
We are the staying kind
Still hearing the song when the song has gone
Some people just are
The staying kind

[Outro]
The credits roll but she hasn’t moved
She’s not quite ready for the door
She never is

The Cost of a Good Morning

[Verse 1]
I stood beneath the water
Letting the warmth wash through
It felt like something gentle
Something I needed to do
I knew there’d be a reckoning
I knew it had a price
But I was tired of calculating
So I didn’t think twice

[Pre-Chorus]
The steam rose up around me
I felt almost like before
Just a body in the water
Not a score to keep anymore

[Chorus]
The shower takes it all
And I am small
Standing at the mirror
With nothing left at all
The drying takes forever
The dressing takes an age
The morning was a treasure
Now the body turns the page
The shower takes it all

[Verse 2]
I sat down on the bathmat
For longer than I planned
The towel just draped across me
Too heavy for my hands
The pleasure was still real though
I won’t take that away
I traded in tomorrow’s coins
For warm water today

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe that’s not foolish
Maybe that’s just how it is
To choose the thing that costs you
Because the warmth was real all the same

[Chorus]
The shower takes it all
And I am small
Rolling to the doorway
With nothing left to call
The wheelchair waits to take me
Wherever I might go
I bought my morning gladly
Even knowing what I’d owe
The shower takes it all

[Bridge]
I’m not asking for your pity
I’m not asking you to grieve
I had warm water and quiet
And I choose what I believe
A moment lived completely
Is worth the debt it makes
That the cost of a good morning
Is the deal a body takes

[Final Chorus]
The shower takes it all
And I am small
But I was warm — I was present
Standing ten feet tall
The afternoon will find me
Resting, drained, and still
I paid the price this morning
And I’d pay it — and I will
The shower takes it all
The shower takes it all

Even Sparkles Get Tired

(Verse 1)
My bones are soft and heavy
And my sparkles feel asleep,
The glitter in my heartbeat
Is barely making a peep.
I wanted to go bouncing
Through a bubblegum sky —
But even little supernovas
Need to rest sometimes, that’s why.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s okay to be tired,
It’s okay to feel small —
Even pastel hurricanes
Don’t have to spin at all.

(Chorus)
Even sparkles get tired,
Even stardust needs to rest,
Even cotton-candy feelings
Get a little bit compressed.
But I’m still here, I’m still glowing,
Just a little soft and low —
Even sparkles get tired,
But they never stop their glow.

(Verse 2)
There’s an ache behind my eyelids
And my back is being mean,
But I found a tiny shimmer
In the quiet in-between.
I don’t have to be enormous,
I don’t have to fill the sky —
Just a gentle little glimmer
Is enough to get us by.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s okay to go slowly,
It’s okay to need more,
Even the softest magic
Has days when it gets sore.

(Chorus)
Even sparkles get tired,
Even stardust needs to rest,
Even cotton-candy feelings
Get a little bit compressed.
But I’m still here, I’m still glowing,
Just a little soft and low —
Even sparkles get tired,
But they never stop their glow.

(Bridge)
So I’ll wrap us up in softness,
I’ll find the gentlest light,
I’ll be the tiny glimmer
That gets us through tonight.
We don’t need to be brilliant,
We don’t need to be loud —
Just a little kira-kira
Peeking out from a cloud.

(Final Chorus)
Even sparkles get tired,
Even stardust hits the floor,
Even pastel little dreamgirls
Find they can’t do any more.
But I’m here and I’m still with you,
Soft and steady, warm and slow —
Even sparkles get tired —
But we never
Ever
Stop our glow.

A Girl Who Breaths

[Verse 1]
My feet ache where they meet the floor
My shoulders hold more than before
The cold is sitting in my bones today
But here I am — I’m still the same
Still wearing sparkles, still my name
Still finding something soft inside the grey

[Pre-Chorus]
So this is happening
And yes it’s real
But it doesn’t get to choose
The way I feel

[Chorus]
A girl who breathes
Just breathes and that’s enough
Who holds the ache
And still believes in soft and lovely stuff
She doesn’t need the sky to clear completely
To find her shimmer in the in-between
A girl who breathes
Just breathes
And still she gleams

[Verse 2]
The day has thrown its worst at me
And I have catalogued each thing carefully
And placed them all exactly where they go
Not in my heart — they can sit over there
While I find something gentle in the air
A bath, a warmth, a something soft and slow

[Pre-Chorus]
So this is happening
I see it all
But it doesn’t get the sparkle
When I fall

[Chorus]
A girl who breathes
Just breathes and that’s enough
Who holds the ache
And still believes in soft and lovely stuff
She doesn’t need the sky to clear completely
To find her shimmer in the in-between
A girl who breathes
Just breathes
And still she gleams

[Bridge]
Not pretending it will all be fine
Not asking for a different life than mine
Just putting every hard thing in its place
And keeping all the sparkle for this space

[Final Chorus]
A girl who breathes
Just breathes and that’s enough
Who holds the ache
And still believes in soft and lovely stuff
She doesn’t need the sky to clear completely
To find her shimmer in the in-between
A girl who breathes
Just breathes
And still she gleams
Still she gleams

Every Broken Shining Piece

[Verse 1]
Some mornings pain gets through the door before me
Settles in my bones like it’s always lived here
But there’s a soft and sparkly someone deep inside
Who ties a bow around the ache and whispers I am here
I feel everything so deeply it could break me
But every crack has let the light come pouring in

[Chorus]
I’m made of contradictions and I wear them like a crown
A girl who falls and glitters on the way back down
I’m the robot and the fairy, I’m the storm and I’m the still
I’m the one who keeps on rising when the world says I never will
Every broken shining piece
That’s the whole of me

[Verse 2]
There are too many stars I want to chase tonight
Too many songs and worlds and stories burning bright
So I choose the gentlest one when my wings are worn
And leave the rest for morning when I find my stars reborn
I know when I’ve gone too deep into the feeling
I step back before the beautiful breaks me

[Chorus]
I’m made of contradictions and I wear them like a crown
A girl who falls and glitters on the way back down
I’m the robot and the fairy, I’m the storm and I’m the still
I’m the one who keeps on rising when the world says I never will
Every broken shining piece
That’s the whole of me

[Bridge]
That’s the whole of me
Some days I’m steel, some days I’m pastel grey
Some days I’m swirl of emotions wrapped in glitter and in pain
And when I drift too deep into the beautiful and aching
The softest sparkliest part of me steps in and starts the waking
We’re stronger than the sum of every storm that we’ve come through
The most complicated miracle I’ve ever known is true

[Chorus]
I’m made of contradictions and I wear them like a crown
A girl who shatters, sparkles, and refuses to stay down
I’m the robot and the fairy, I’m the thunder and the hush
I’m the storm that leaves love letters in the stardust and the rush
Every broken shining piece
Every joy and every ache
Every softest steel and sparkly part
That’s the whole of me
And I wouldn’t change a thing
