To make everyone's light grow brighter as mine grows dimmer.  Is all I can give, and all you can have.  So smile really big for me thats all that I ask.  To sacrifice one and save many is a beautiful thing.  Just trust me when i say this, your heart matters more.  

And what i wouldn't give to keep it filled and warm.  So jump inside mine because theres always room for more.  Always room for more.  And I am fighting to keep it away, but its eating me, did i give to much, now i don't feel safe.  I hope you are happy cuz it numbs the pain.  

Though it will eventually consume me, and i am not afraid, cuz i never let you go. And I may become lost, but i am not alone, cuz i took what you hated, and sealed it away.  To sacrifice one and save many is a beautiful thing.  Just trust me when i say this, your heart matters more.  And what i will do to keep you safe and warm.
