As I'm holding you tonight
Just a shadow in your light
I can feel you growing bright enough to burn
And it's driving me insane
If I could take away your pain
I promise you
I swear to God I'd learn
But until I do
I will shelter you
Stay close
Stay strong
I'll hold up these walls as long
As it takes for you to mend
So Shine on
Shine bright
It's always dark before the light
Though it's hard for you to comprehend
Your heart will be whole again
The smile that I show
Is just so you don't know
That I am scared as hell inside
No don't you be afraid
All of this will fade and we will leave those memories behind
Until we do I will shelter you
Stay close
Stay strong
I'll hold up these walls as long
As it takes for you to mend
Oh Shine on
Shine bright
It's always dark before the light
Thought it's hard for you to comprehend
Your heart will be whole again
Stay close
Stay strong
I'll hold up these walls as long
As it takes for you to mend
So Shine on
Shine bright
It's always dark before the light
Thought it's hard for you to comprehend
Your heart will be whole again
Your heart will be whole again
