[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface, still water running deep,
A mind that reads the room before a single word can speak,
She catalogues the truth in things that others pass right by,
Precision in the details, questions burning like a fire,
The world sees calm composure, ordered, careful, and refined,
But oceans move in darkness just beneath that quiet mind

[PreChorus]
She's learning what she carries is the very thing she needs,
A root that holds through every storm, a complicated seed

[Chorus]
Tayler, you were written by the dark and by the dawn,
Every layer that you've buried is the place you're building from,
You don't have to earn the love that you were born already worth,
The cosmos pressed you carefully into the bones of the earth

[Verse 2]
There's a lion in the shadows where she keeps her warmth and pride,
A hunger to be witnessed for the fire kept inside,
She gives before she's asked to, she loves before it's safe,
She'll hold the whole room together but she crumbles in her space,
The wound runs back to early rooms where safety wasn't sure,
But every tender thing she builds now is the cure

[PreChorus]
She's not too much, she's not too deep, she's not too hard to hold,
Everything that broke her open only helped her grow

[Chorus]
Tayler, you were written by the dark and by the dawn,
Every layer that you've buried is the place you're building from,
You don't have to earn the love that you were born already worth,
The cosmos pressed you carefully into the bones of the earth

[Verse 3]
Her words are not a weapon but a scalpel and a light,
She speaks in few and chosen things, she waits until it's right,
The kind of love she offers doesn't happen on the surface,
She needs the full depth of you, the wound, the want, the purpose,
She's been the one who disappears to hold the world in place,
Doing sacred work in silence, leaving barely any trace

[PreChorus]
She's carried visions no one saw, she's dreamed beyond the frame,
And every wall she built from hurt became a window all the same

[Chorus]
Tayler, you were written by the dark and by the dawn,
Every layer that you've buried is the place you're building from,
You don't have to earn the love that you were born already worth,
The cosmos pressed you carefully into the bones of the earth

[Verse 4]
She's stood between two versions of herself since the beginning,
The one who craves the spotlight and the one who keeps on winning,
Quietly, invisibly, behind the scenes, unseen,
There's a tension in the middle of those two and both are clean,
She's moving toward a life where she allows herself to play,
Where ambition and belonging finally find their way

[PreChorus]
The trail she leaves is lit with everything she dared to feel,
And the version that she's growing into now is finally real

[Chorus]
Tayler, you were written by the dark and by the dawn,
Every layer that you've buried is the place you're building from,
You don't have to earn the love that you were born already worth,
The cosmos pressed you carefully into the bones of the earth

[Bridge]
She was never too intense, she was never too much,
She was built for depth of meaning and a transformative touch,
Every ending she survived became a door she learned to trust,
She was made of ancient stardust and she's more than enough

[Outro]
The stars don't make mistakes, and they didn't make one here,
Everything she is was chosen, everything is clear,
She is held, she is guided, she is home
