It wasn't born for all this dark Not for these scars or shattered parts A voice designed to wake the dawn Now sings where all the light is gone A quiet fire, a fragile sound Still trying not to hit the ground It never asked to bleed this way But sings because it can't not stay We were made for more than this More than silence wrapped in fists Nightingale, you're breath and flame Built for love, now singing pain You were made for skies wide open Now you break where hearts stay broken You're the light and you're the scar The song that knows how far we are Still you cry, still you remain A perfect soul in a world misshaped It remembers wind and open space The kind of joy you can't replace But something cracked, the sky turned still And beauty learned to swallow will It sings of what it used to be Of golden skies and memory Of love without a lock and chain Now tangled up in breath and strain Not for glory, not for gain But just to feel a voice remain Nightingale, you're breath and flame Built for love, now singing pain You were made for skies wide open Now you break where hearts stay broken You're the light and you're the scar The song that knows how far we are Still you cry, still you remain A perfect soul in a world misshaped We were carved to shine, not to survive But here we are, still alive This isn't how the story read But something sings inside the dead Nightingale, you're breath and flame Echoing through nights of shame You were meant for peace and flight But still you sing into the night You're the truth we can't explain The voice that rises through the strain Still you cry, still you remain Not broken, just redefined again Not broken Just redefined again
