I've always been the music in the background
I've danced among the shadows on the wall
Cause no one ever noticed my details
In fact they never noticed me at all

But now I'm breaking free
I'm more than an outline of who I use to be
I'm coming out of the backlight
It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait
She's ancient history, but I'll never forget
My silhouette, my silhouette

I used to try to hide my imperfections
I only saw the world in black and white
But no I'm looking at the bigger picture
And everything is clearer in my life

But now I'm breaking free
I'm more than an outline of who I use to be
I'm coming out of the backlight
It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait
She's ancient history, but I'll never forget
My silhouette

Now I've opened your eyes
Cause I'm not letting me go stepping out of the dark
I'm so in control
Leave the old you behind
Remember to hold on to your soul
I'm more than an outline, yeah
I'm coming out of the backlight

But now I'm breaking free
I'm more than an outline of who I use to be
I'm coming out of the backlight
It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait
She's ancient history, but I'll never forget
My silhouette

I'm more than an outline of who I use to be
I'm coming out of the backlight
It's time to be seen, there's no more featureless portrait
She's ancient history, but I'll never forget
My silhouette
