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.
