Maybe I can't tell
right from wrong
life from death
heaviness from emptiness
love from a lie
or your arms from mine
Still I'm sure to see
light inside something dark
matter inside the nothingness
heart inside an empty chest
care from broken hands
And when you say
the void is you
I shake my head
but follow through
Let me tell you what I see
A blackness that is dear to me
And even if you can't help but mind
my trust and care leaving your dark parts behind
I might as well be
A lantern, you see
And when the light catches you
We'll both follow through
One thing I can truthfully tell
it was never just darkness from the moment I fell
for you

And when you say

Let me tell you what I see

And even if you can't help but mind

I might as well be
A lantern, you see
And when the light catches you
We'll both follow through
One thing I can truthfully tell
it was never just darkness from the moment I fell
