Better With the Sun

I wore your shadow like a second skin,

Felt the silence crawling in.

Every night, your voice would haunt the air,

But now it’s quiet, and I don’t care.


I thought the dark would eat me whole,

Thought I’d never mend the hole.

But scars don’t mean the end of me,

They’re maps to where I’m meant to be.


And I’m breathing in,

Feels like the first time in years.

Letting go of the weight,

Letting go of the tears.


I’m better with the sun on my face,

Better in the light of a brand-new day.

I thought the night would never fade,

But it can’t stay.

I’m stronger than the storm that I came through,

And brighter than the love that I once knew.

Yeah, I’m better—

Better with the sun.


I’ve stopped reading all your words in blue,

Stopped believing I was less without you.

The ashes taught me how to grow,

And now I bloom where you let go.


I don’t hate you, I don’t need to—

What we had just ran its course.

You were rain, but I’m the ocean,

And I’ve found my own force.


I’m better with the sun on my face,

Better in the light of a brand-new day.

I thought the night would never fade,

But it can’t stay.

I’m stronger than the storm that I came through,

And brighter than the love that I once knew.

Yeah, I’m better—

Better with the sun.


Better with the sun…

Better with the sun…

Better than the dark we came from.
