She lived in a house where the mirrors were broken
Trading her gold for words left unspoken
A soul made of tides that always gave more
While the waves only left hollow shells on her shore
She locked every window, painted the walls gray
To keep all the ghosts of her shadows at bay

Then came the winter, the lights, and the wine
A New Year was whispering: Give it some time
Across the crowded room, a foreign soul appeared
With a kindness so steady, it was all that she feared
He spoke in a language of touch and of grace
Seeking no prizes, just a smile on her face

It was a warmth that she couldn't explain
A sudden July in the middle of rain
She wants to believe, she's longing to stay
But the ghosts of the past won't just fade away

She's not used to being loved
She's waiting for the sky to fall down
She's not used to being loved
A stranger to the gold she has found
She's not used to being loved
Thinking every forever is a lie
She's not used to being loved
But she's tired of saying goodbye

His hands are a harbor she's scared to explore
Afraid that the ocean will break her once more
But it feels like a mirror, a truth in his eyes
A love that is honest, without a disguise

The countdown is over, the fireworks are gone
But the light that he brought is still leading her on
It's scary to trust when you've only known stings
But oh, the sweet music that reciprocity brings

She's not used to being loved
She's waiting for the sky to fall down
She's not used to being loved
A stranger to the gold she has found
She's not used to being loved
Thinking every forever is a lie
She's not used to being loved
But she's tired of saying goodbye

She's not used to being loved
But she's learning to let the walls down
She's not used to being loved
In the light of the gold she has found
She's not used to being loved
But maybe this time it won't be a lie
She's not used to being loved
But she's ready to give it a try

She's ready to try
Give it a try
