lyrics

It's hard to let go of the hope we had
Cause it's hope that kept me alive
It's hard to let go of your face, your touch, your voice
And that look in your eyes
And sure, in that ocean of worlds we'll find
A home for both of our hearts
But I wanted that world, that journey hand in hand
Into the dark

And it's hard to describe what it felt to be lost like I was
Blinded by fear on all sides.
But when I look back on the black clouds of those years, you know

You will shine through in my memory, as the brightest star in the sky

It's hard to believe that we were just part of that time
Or a crutch that I needed
It's hard to believe that the children, the places, the growing old
Were just pills for the madness
And I know why you want to say sorry
And want to reassure me
But it's not pain, it's not fear, it's just tragedy
That that future died in our arms

And it's hard to describe the hatred I felt for myself
Clouded up in anger
But when I look back on the black clouds of those years, you know...

You will shine through in my memory, as the brightest star in the sky
And the hope and the time you gave to me
Kept me seeing the beauty in life
And if I go down in history, and they ask me, ‘How did you get here?’
I'll say: ‘When I was trapped in a prison of troubles
One gorgeous soul lit up the room’

So when I look back on the black clouds of those years, you know
You will shine through in my memory
As the brightest star in the sky.
