[00:07.59]

[00:09.77] Hey

[00:11.98]

[00:14.03] This heavy I carry

[00:16.78] I dress it up in light

[00:20.11] This pain is holy, pain is holy

[00:24.14] I'm not my emotions, no

[00:27.02] They're a point in time

[00:30.41] Say it slowly, say it slowly

[00:33.76] Lend your hand to hold

[00:35.86] Let me see through your eyes

[00:55.12] Don't ever leave me

[00:57.69] Don't ever leave me

[01:12.74] I see myself so clearly

[01:15.92] In the darkest night

[01:18.48] But the dawn's in sight

[01:19.79] I can see the light, I see it

[01:22.40] I'm wide awake, I'm out of mind

[01:24.91] I'm barely breathing, I'm alive

[01:27.32] I wanna stay by your side
