lyrics

I watched you fall apart
Not you your body, just your heart
While the opposite was happening inside of him

The sun went out that day
But his warmth will never fade
You wear it on your face every single day


I never know just what to do
With all that pain inside you
Will this help?
Of course it won’t
But since we cannot let go
I hope you always know


He lived the fullest life
Still doesn’t make it right
But I know that you
Will carry his light
I’ll help you through the night
Never give up this fight
Because I have never
Loved so much in my life

All anyone can do
And all anyone can say
Is just “be there”
But you and I both know
That words and presence
Are just as frail
As skin and bone

With light
Breath life
Back into those we miss most
(You’re not the only one
Who wants to be alone)

So when you see me every night
And when you hear me sing this way
Please know I’m only trying my best
To keep alight your flame

I’m sorry if this is too much

Or if I’m doing it all wrong
But it's all that I know how to do
Consider me the midnight oil
I serve to keep you on

He lived the fullest life
Still doesn’t make it right
But I know that you
Will carry his light
I’ll help you through the night
Never give up this fight
Because I have never
Loved so much


I’ll carry you through hallways
Past the ICU and oxygen tanks
All the dead will raise their heads
And get out of their beds and sing
“I’ve never felt this light before!

Is that an angel in your arms
Or something more?”

And it’s you my love
His golden torch
And I will keep fueling
I’ll never give up on you
