I hear the echo of the room
But it’s only me
Heart ticking like a clock on a balcony
Shadow on the wall doing Choreography
Guess I’m dancing
With the version I’m scared to be

Spotlight on my spine
Yeah it steals my air
Pressure hanging on my ribs
Like it’s always there
But I’m chasing every
Whisper sayin’ “don’t you dare”
So I sing it to the dark
Just to make it fair

My voice cracks but I let it fall
’Cause every flaw is a part of it all
If courage had a sound
I swear it’s small
But growing, growing

I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I’m standing here the same
No safety net behind me
Just the tremble in my name
But every shaky note I’m holding
Turns a spark into a flame
Yeah I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I’m singing anyway

Footsteps in my memory
Keep pacing me
Every doubt doing laps in my agency
But I flipped every “can’t” into bravery
Now my heartbeat’s
The guide to the melody

Fear’s just a ghost on the balcony rail
And I breathe it out like I’m lifting a veil

My voice cracks but I let it fall
’Cause broken things can still stand tall
If courage had a sound
, it wouldn’t crawl
It’s roaring, roaring

I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I carved my place to stay
No curtain here to hide me
Just the truth in what I say
Every fragile note I’m holding
Still keeps burning through the grey
Yeah I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I’m singing anyway

Ooo, I’m not running, no
Ooo, I’m becoming, oh
If bravery’s a tune you learn slow
Then hear me now, watch me grow

I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I rise with every word
No perfection left to chase now
Just the real voice you heard
And the sound inside my chest
Is the loudest in the world
Yeah I’m breathless in the spotlight
But I’m singing undisturbed
