Lyrics

I sat beneath the portrait light, framed in gold, a quiet smile
Whispers in the gallery, wondering how long I'd stay a while
You walked in like a hurricane in vintage dresses and broken ties
Pulled me out of silent oceans where my echo used to lie
And I thought I'd drown in the hush of the museum halls
Trapped in motion, ribbons and the autumn leaves that fall
But you held the key, you broke the chain, you said my name
And suddenly the water churned — I rose above the pain
You dug me out of the grave I thought I couldn't leave behind
Saved my heart from the tide
That tried to pull me under time after time
You kept me honest through the storms, the calm, the nights
Now I'm standing where the light lingers in your eyes
No, I won't sink, won't fade into someone else's frame
Because you came — and changed my waves outside the frame
Mirrors in the dressing room, sequins flashing—hide my doubts
Old stories whispered backstage, "show must go on", the lights go out
I used to float in whiskey nights and lyrics left unsaid
But you found the buried melody beneath the stage I fled
And I thought I'd vanish like a ghost behind the song
Caught between the starlight and the place I didn't belong
But you waved the curtain, found me in the wings, you said my name
And the music changed — my fear dissolved into the flame
You dug me out of the grave I thought I couldn't leave behind
Saved my heart from the tide
That tried to pull me under time after time
You kept me honest through the storms, the calm, the nights
Now I'm dancing where the neon meets your light
No, I won't sink, won't fade into someone else's frame
Because you came — and changed my waves outside the frame
Chain, crown, vine tangled round the memory of me
But you whispered: "Let it go, love — you're no longer the deep"
From ivory gowns to steel-blue sea, I traced the line you drew
Leaving behind the silent portrait — stepping into the view
You dug me out of the grave I thought I couldn't leave behind
Saved my heart from the tide
That tried to pull me under time after time
You kept me honest through the storms, the calm, the nights
Now I'm alive where your truth and mine collide
No, I won't sink, won't fade into someone else's frame
Because you came — and changed my waves outside the frame
Outside the frame... I found my light
Outside the frame... you held my fight
Outside the frame... I'll never break
Because you came and changed my waves
