Hold Your Light Up (versione 2)

Verse

City lights are spilling down your throat

You laugh at something I don't hear at all

Your hand slips in the dark and finds my wrist

The only thing we both agree on now is that it's not you or me

It's who was left before either of us was here

I pull away to find some space for air

But every inch I gain just pulls your face a little more right there

Pre-Chorus

Maybe love isn't something that can be won or lost

Maybe it's the way the dark can turn into gold at last

So let me keep on losing you and finding my own voice in this place

And maybe when we say goodbye for real, I'll finally learn what it means to love

Chorus

Hold your light up high tonight

Don't dim it down because of me

I won't chase shadows that you're leaving behind

Just hold your light up high and set the whole town free

Hold your light up high tonight

And maybe in all this losing, I'll find my own way back home tonight

Verse

You take a drag on something thin

A small quiet smile that's yours alone

I think of all the things we used to do

Like counting stars before they turn to stone

Pre-Chorus

Maybe love isn't something that can be won or lost

Maybe it's the way the dark can turn into gold at last

So let me keep on losing you and finding my own voice in this place

And maybe when we say goodbye for real, I'll finally learn what it means to love

Chorus

Hold your light up high tonight

Don't dim it down because of me

I won't chase shadows that you're leaving behind

Just hold your light up high and set the whole town free

Hold your light up high tonight

And maybe in all this losing, I'll find my own way back home tonight

Bridge

You don't owe me anything

Not even a goodbye that makes sense

The truth is just a whispered word in a crowded room

And right now, it's the only thing I really need to hear you say

So hold your light up and watch it cut through all this noise

I'll find my way back home because of what it lit inside you

Chorus

Hold your light up high tonight

Don't dim it down because of me

I won't chase shadows that you're leaving behind

Just hold your light up high and set the whole town free

Hold your light up high tonight

And maybe in all this losing, I'll find my own way back home tonight
