Lyrics
I got lost somewhere inside my own mind Carried yesterday into every tomorrow Tried to make sense of every goodbye Tried to make peace with every sorrow I thought the darkness had become my name Thought maybe this was all I'd ever be But underneath the ashes and the pain There was still a little piece of me
I didn't know I was getting closer
I didn't know I was almost through
Sometimes healing happens so quietly You don't even know it's happening to you
Then I flipped the switch and the darkness wasn't darkness anymore The past was still behind me But it wasn't at my door I didn't lose my memories I didn't erase what I'd been through I just stopped living in the story That was never meant to be my truth I flipped the switch
And suddenly I could breathe
I thought I had to find somebody
But I found somebody in me
There was no crowd, there was no rescue No one came to tell me I was strong I fell apart where nobody could see me Then I slowly learned to carry on Piece by piece I built a new beginning Not the person that I used to be I didn't become someone else I just remembered who was underneath
And maybe that's what healing really is Not forgetting what you've survived But waking up one morning and discovering The thing that hurt you doesn't run your life
Then I flipped the switch
And the darkness wasn't darkness anymore The past was still behind me But it wasn't at my door
I didn't lose my memories
I didn't erase what I'd been through
I just stopped living in the story
That was never meant to be my truth I flipped the switch
And suddenly I could breathe
I thought I had to find somebody
But I found somebody in me
Maybe you're listening in the darkness Thinking this is where your story ends Maybe you can't see it yetBut you're closer than you think
You don't have to fix your whole life tonightYou don't have to understand it all Sometimes the greatest change
Is simply deciding you won't stay on the floor And one day...You wake up.
Something is different Nothing outside you changed But you did
You flipped the switch
And the darkness wasn't darkness anymore The past was still behind you But it wasn't at your door
You didn't lose your memories
You didn't erase what you'd been through You just stopped living in the story That was never meant to be your truth You flipped the switch
And finally you could breathe You thought you had to find somebody
But you found somebody in you
So if you're somewhere in the darkness Please don't think you're lost forever There is a version of you You haven't met yet Keep goingYou don't have to see the light Just keep walking toward it Because sometimes... the switch is already inside you
