Keep the curtains drawn, I just can’t stand the light
I was up all night, terrified of things I can’t describe
Keep me in this bed, I just can’t make it through
I know I’m paralyzed just in my mind but it’s still so hard to move
And I know these days take all you’ve got, but
Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you
Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue
Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness
Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight
Call in sick again, another day in bed
But what’s the point when all it does is build the guilt inside my head?
Call me out again, say I don’t look myself
Maybe someday I won’t feel like I’ve turned into someone else
And I know these days take all you’ve got, but
Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you
Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue
Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness
Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight
Hold your head up one more time to see you’re not alone
Get back up and live to fight another day
It doesn’t mean I’ve found a cure or that I’ll always be okay
But when the daylight fails and dark clouds start to form
I know there’s no shame in asking for a life line in the storm
So hold on tight - because this life is worth it
Don’t let go, when the world puts its weight upon you
Don’t let go, when you feel there’s no hope or rescue
Time will show, bit by bit, a way out of the darkness
Don’t let go, don’t let go, tonight
