Burning Through the Dark (version 2)

Verse

Pain in my lungs like a fire alarm

Sweat on the mirror where your face used to be

I try to hold on but it slips right through my hands

Every step forward lands me back on you

Pre-Chorus

So what's the map for finding my way

Through this dark where the shadows never fade

Am I running or am I already gone

Or can I learn to move without a home

Chorus

I'm burning through the dark tonight

Every step is taking back the fight

I'll lose the light if it means losing you

But I'd rather burn than stay with nothing true

Burning through the dark, through the dark tonight

I'll find my way by letting go and running free

Verse

Your name still echoes in the tunnel's hush

I keep it loud just to hear something of a rush

I'm not asking which way leads to safe or sound

Just show me what it means to leave the shadow out

Pre-Chorus

So what's the map for finding my way

Through this dark where the shadows never fade

Am I running or am I already gone

Or can I learn to move without a home

Chorus

I'm burning through the dark tonight

Every step is taking back the fight

I'll lose the light if it means losing you

But I'd rather burn than stay with nothing true

Burning through the dark, through the dark tonight

I'll find my way by letting go and running free

Bridge

Maybe love and pain are not so different

Both just kinds of fire that can take us to the surface

So I won't hold this close like something to keep

I'll let it burn down till nothing's left but the leap

Chorus

I'm burning through the dark tonight

Every step is taking back the fight

I'll lose the light if it means losing you

But I'd rather burn than stay with nothing true

Burning through the dark, through the dark tonight

I'll find my way by letting go and running free
