The Beginning

Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on, hold on

Take my hand
And bring me back

I'll risk everything if it's for you
A whisper into the night
Telling me it's not my time and don't give up
I've never stood up before this time
But I won't let go of this hand I've got

So stand up, stand up (just gotta keep it)
I wanna wake up, wake up (just tell me how I can)
Never give up
It's a maddeningly beautiful moment

Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I'll fight until there is no more
A flash of light filled with sorrow, my gaze is a sensory impulse
Blinded, I can't see the end
So where do I begin?

Say another word, I can't hear you
The silence between us
It just looks like there's nothing there
I'll take this chance and I'll make it mine
Just can't hide what I feel, pretending it's all fine

So stand up, stand up (just gotta keep it)
I wanna wake up, wake up (just tell me how I can)
Never give up
It's a beautiful pain of sadness and longing

Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms
These feelings that broke down, cried, bloomed, and scattered
So blinded I can't see the end

Look how far we've made it
The pain I can't escape it
We can't just end it like this, can we?
No matter how many times I feel like I might die, or decay, there's no end
So where do I begin?

Holding on tight so I don't lose it
If I open my hands, it feels like it'll all slip away
Throwing away the inertia of days when I had nothing to lose, for you

Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I'll fight until there is no more
A flash of light filled with sorrow, my gaze is a sensory impulse
Blinded, I can't see the end

Look how far we've made it
The pain I can't escape it
We can't just end it like this, can we?
No matter how many times I feel like I might die, or decay, there's no end
It finally begins.
