I Will Not

[Verse 1] I could give of myself until I am swallowed whole I could become someone else, to fill the role If only I could give it to you, and let you receive my love Maybe you’d no longer need to claw your way up To keep your head just above Just above the water, Above the water [Chorus] The darker the doorstep The harder they fall The longer the night is the thicker the wall So let’s break them down and light the way Let love be our beacon, our ray Let love light the way There’s nothing else my heart can say [Verse 2] I know it can hurt; the tidal waves drag you under But you forgot I can be your shelter from the thunder The sounds can overwhelm, the lightning too bright As it charges your ions Don’t be afraid of the dark of the night The lightning will strike, the lightning will strike [Chorus] The darker the doorstep The harder they fall The longer the night is the thicker the wall So let’s break them down and light the way Let love be our beacon, our ray Let love light the way There’s nothing else my heart can say [Verse 3] Not every hurt needs a written-out story Not every fight need to turn into warring I just know I can protect you, my love I can conform to your life for once Wear your love like a glove I know we fit my dear, that we fit My dear [Chorus] The darker the doorstep The harder they fall The longer the night is the thicker the wall So let’s break them down and light the way Let love be our beacon, our ray Let love light the way There’s nothing else my heart can say [Bridge] Not every shattered mirror has to hold your face You can stop screaming, stop deflecting the ache I am here now, just see me, please I don’t want to fight I want to be your peace, Let love be our guide, we no longer have to hide [Outro] When you’re breath it becomes pain Don’t carry on in shame Lean on me, I say I can be your safety, I can be your safety
