Let The Light In

From the album If I Wasn't Me by Scottychams

Chorus

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

Searching for the signs

To find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

I'm not just saying goodbye

I'm reclaiming wasted time

Trying to find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

Finally, let the light in

Refrain

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

Searching for the signs

To find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

I'm not just saying goodbye

I'm reclaiming wasted time

Trying to find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

Verse 1

I remember empty desks

And teachers asking less

Like I faded in the crowd

Just a name they could guess

Lunch tray cold

Fake friends on the fence

So I learned to pretend

Built a wall for defence

Used to speak in a whisper

Afraid of the mess

Kept my thoughts in a vault

Heart pounding in my chest

Tried to master the silence

But it echoed too loud

So I buried the hurt

Just to blend with the crowd

But that version of me

Couldn't carry the weight

Had to look in the mirror

Had to rebuild my faith

Now the lessons I bled

Are the ink in my lines

Every bruise that I hid

Got me closer to mine

Started standing up

I started taking chances

Started asking questions

Finally getting answers

Found my voice in the cracks

Of the doubt and the noise

Turned the fear into fuel

Turned the loss into choice

Every no that I heard

Just carved out a lane

I ain't chasing their light

I've been building my flame

Now I walk with intention

Every step got a reason

Used to crave some faith

Now I finally believe it

Chorus

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

Searching for the signs

To find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

I'm not just saying goodbye

I'm reclaiming wasted time

Trying to find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

Verse 2

Yeah

I had to sit with the dark

Just to know what it meant

Had to lose who I was

Just to see where I went

I kept running from peace

Like it came with a cost

But the light never left

It was buried in loss

Now I breathe a little deeper

Let the old pain thin

No more closing the curtains

I'mma let it all in

If I'm saying goodbye

It ain't out of regret

It's hello to the person

I ain't fully been yet

So let it shine through

Every scar, every sin

I was lost in my mind

Now I let the light in

Chorus

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

Searching for the signs

To find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

I'm not just saying goodbye

I'm reclaiming wasted time

Trying to find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

Final Chorus

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

I was lost inside my mind

Now I'm healing line by line

And finally let the light in

I'm only trying to shine

Searching for the signs

To find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

Outro

I'm not just saying goodbye

I'm reclaiming wasted time

Trying to find some peace of mind

And finally let the light in

You know I'm

Only trying to shine

I was lost inside my mind

Now I'm healing line by line

And finally let the light in
