I can try, but it hurts
Breathe until you’re with me
‘Cause only then can I breathe again
And that should be enough for me – I should be happy
But we both know I never could accept defeat
I messed up, and it’s like a curse
But what have I learned?
'Cause I keep making the same mistakes

Tell me, how strong I need to be
So those around me never know pain
I only wanna keep them safe
I’ll cherish every laugh
And without looking back
I’ll believe in love and live on
And I want you to know
I’ll always hold you close
With your scars, some new and some old
And together, we’ll continue down this path
Though it may hurt, we both know we can’t go back

I can still feel in my chest a bitter pain
Though it may heal, scars of sin we can’t erase, darling
I remember the crippling cost
The love that I lost
So long ago, but the pain remains
I can’t look at the vivid sky
So blue and so bright
When in my heart there only is a world of grey

But no matter the sacrifice
I would pray the price
And keep believing in only this
It’s the color within your eyes
Dazzling with such life
How it reminds me of flowers on a sunny day
There’s things we can’t control
I know it in my soul
But I’ll trust in life, and live on

Like candles burning bright
I wanna hold you tight
As we melt away our nightmares
I will be there, when the pain, it makes you numb
And I’ll be there, till the light of morning comes
And as long as you are by my side
I don’t care if we’re against the tide
Fighting off a world of waves
‘Cause as one, we’ll never break

I’ll cherish every laugh
And without looking back
I’ll believe in love and live on
And I want you to know
I’ll always hold you close
With your scars, some new, and some old

I’ll cherish every laugh
And without looking back
I’ll believe in love and live on
Because if I'm with you
I know that we’ll pull through
With a bond that can’t be broken
And together, we are clinging to a thread
Though it may hurt, we can only look ahead

But I promise, I will keep the dark at bay
Yeah, I promise
I will always keep you safe, darling
