lyrics

Hold my Light

I am always surprised that not everybody knows
The feeling of dread and fear that only grows and grows
Until it covers everything, swallows every hope
And I just wish someone could help me cope

When the brightness hurts my eyes, will you hold my light?
Will you keep it safe, burning through the night?
So my darkness does not dim it, does not steal the glow
So I can rest and sleep and be sure to know
That when the shadows lift and I can once more see
You are there and can return my light to me

I know that when it hits me, I always turn away
That I grow cold and distant and keep people at bay
When you cannot read my tone, my stance or my face
It means I have already lost the race

When the brightness hurts my eyes, will you hold my light?
Will you keep it safe, burning through the night?
So my darkness does not dim it, does not steal the glow
So I can rest and sleep and be sure to know
That when the shadows lift and I can once more see
You are there and can return my light to me

When I push you away, is when I need your aid
When I say „oh its nothing“ it means that I‘m afraid
When I end each sentence laughing, when I smile too bright
It means I really need you by my side

When the brightness hurts my eyes, will you hold my light?
Will you keep it safe, burning through the night?
So my darkness does not dim it, does not steal the glow
So I can rest and sleep and be sure to know
That when the shadows lift and I can once more see
You are there and can return my light to me
