I used to be so courageous
Not a care in the world
I never cared what they said
But little by little
They chipped away
They stole a part of me
Word by word
I felt them all
Stripping me clean
(But now I'm singing)
Renew the fire, rekindle the flames
When did the fire leave my eyes?
I used to be so full of life
But who could blame me?
When I was just a kid
I never knew what growing up meant
Not a care in the world
I never cared what they said
But little by little
They chipped away
They stole a part of me
Word by word
I felt them all
Stripping me clean
Dying light
With nowhere to shine
I'm a dying light
When did the fire leave my eyes?
I used to be so full of life
Renew the fire, rekindle the flames
And I will not be contained
I'll never be the same
