Lighting Candles

Something’s not right, you look different this time All they colors washed away Replaced with pale grays You tell me its time you gave up but I cant let you If I have to fight this myself I’ll I will just to get you through. So smile, you have no idea how much it effects me Don’t cry; please don’t cry I want to be strong for you But seeing you like this takes me down too You’re dying to move on but you can’t move til you let this go How it must feel I may never know But just take my hand Help me understand I don’t know what I can do But I know I can’t just leave you. I promise you’ll be ok This feelings only temporary the sun will one day rise Color bursting at the seams and painting the bleak skies I swear to you that I’ll stick around I swear to you I won’t let the sun go down I’ll keep the candle burning Just to scare away the shadows They won’t get you not tonight Not tonight I’ll never let go Well get through this together I’ll hold you tight You’ll be alright I’ll hold you tight We’ll win this fight. Look me in the eyes Tell me that you’re alright I’ll fight this fight No need to worry we can make it through the night You should know that smile brightens my day But one tear rains on my world Every day my heart breaks for you I care too much I know I do And I pray to God you hear me say That I pray to God that you’re ok.
