Lyrics

Steal your rain not your thunder

Expressing the desire to take solace in your sadness without diminishing your achievements.

Throw your roses to the past

Suggesting a symbolic gesture of letting go of past memories or relationships.

Blinking at all of the lights in my eyes

Being overwhelmed by various distractions or challenges.

Candles will burn but won't last

Highlighting the transient nature of candles, drawing a parallel to the impermanence of certain experiences.


In the eyes of deception

Referring to a perspective tainted by deceit or illusion.

My feelings revolve around you

Centering emotions around a specific person.

My choices and destiny cross paths

Indicating a pivotal moment where choices and fate intersect.

Like silver lines traced in the blue

Comparing significant moments to subtle, fleeting details.


But I will never fall apart again

Affirming resilience and determination not to succumb to emotional breakdown.

And I will never be the same

Emphasizing the transformative impact of an experience, signaling a departure from the past.

Because I let you in

Acknowledging the impact of letting someone into one's life.


I tend to regret when I let go

Reflecting on the tendency to feel remorse after letting go of something or someone.

That's why I pushed you away

Explaining the decision to distance oneself from a person or situation.

It's not that I never did love you

Clarifying that the reluctance to express love doesn't mean it was never present.

I was just too scared to say

Admitting that fear was the obstacle preventing the vocalization of love.


But candles burn brighter in darkness

Finding hope and brightness in difficult times, drawing a parallel to candles in darkness.

And they'll flicker before they will fade

Recognizing the fragile nature of hope and its tendency to waver before fading.

They say the heart will grow stronger with distance

Quoting a common belief that distance can strengthen emotions, despite the desire for closeness.

But I still wish you had stayed

Expressing a wish for the person to have remained present despite the anticipated growth.


But I will never fall apart again

Reiterating a commitment to emotional resilience and not falling apart.

And I will never be the same

Affirming a permanent change resulting from the experience, emphasizing personal growth.

Because I let you in

Repeating the acknowledgment of the impact of letting someone into one's life.

But I will never fall apart again

Reiterating the determination not to succumb to emotional breakdown.

And I will never be the same

Emphasizing the enduring nature of personal change and growth.

Because I let you in

Repeating the acknowledgment of the impact of letting someone into one's life.
