City asleep in a velvet hush All the noise turned into blush I walked through glass that used to gleam Carrying echoes I couldn't redeem But then A flicker broke my monochrome A voice that felt like coming home Stars can't shine without darkness We don't glow if we don't fall You met me in the silence Where I thought I'd lost it all In the pitch, you sparked my sight Your gravity rewrote my night (Shine... in the dark...) (Not by chance...) (Light... leaves a mark...) (Just one glance...) I spoke in clocks, you answered in clouds You carved your name in stormless sound No map, no plan just matching pace Two orbits drawn in fragile grace Not every wound needs to be healed Some just want to be revealed Stars can't shine without darkness And I was made of dusk and doubt But your quiet kind of chaos Turned my fear inside out In the night, I learned to see Not just light, but how it leads Stars can't shine without darkness So don't regret the shade we knew Even shadows cast by heartbreak Point somewhere back to you You're the flare I didn't seek The light that made me incomplete In the best way
