It's a tired drumbeat in my chest
I left all the ones I loved the best
Loneliness was stripping off her dress
And that's alright
I was getting used to cutting ties
And rubbing out your crayon drawing eyes
Said you didn't wanna stay the night
And that's alright
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
A comedy is crying in my head
Sinking while I'm filling up with dread
Try sometimes to save you from my bed
'Cause I'm a lie, oh-oh, woah
I'm terrified you've seen my fake machine
'Cause skin is only fleeting velveteen
Bouncing on the stormiest of seas
Till morning light
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light (hold the light)
Hold the light
Hold the light
Hold the light
Hold the light
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
Ooh (hold the light)
Ooh (hold the light)
Ooh (hold the light)
Ooh (hold the light)
Ooh (hold the light)
Ooh (hold the light)
Hold the light
Hold the light
