brighter lights

sir

shake my hand- it's a pleasure to meet you

i'm not trying to waste your time

my name is miserable & full of regret

but

i'm trying to change that line

up in my head are all the times that i've seen you

and wished that you were dead

but one by one

they turn and point at me

until i wish my demise instead

because

i've heard all the things you say to me

to hold my head high and pick up my feet

but

i think you'll agree

i'm not quite ready to go

we can look up

we can let go of this tonight

because we are alive

and we're not alone

i'm finding love within the light

without a doubt

i am full of hesitation

i'm positive that i'm unsure

that the disease in my lungs that is keeping me from singing

is so lonely without a cure

inside my heart

just a few inches over

i can hear a stronger beat

it's the only thing that keeps me alive

the only thing that drives my feet

because i've heard what you've said and i figured it out

to hold my head high and just go about

with a smile on my face

because i know

in the end

the sun will come out again

we can look up

we can let go of this tonight

because we are alive

and we're not alone

i'm finding love within the light

i'll say

i believe you when you tell me there is still a silver lining"
