Light up, light up
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
You've been the only thing that's right
I'll be right beside you, dear
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Then we really have to go
And I can barely look at you
I can hardly speak, I understand
As if you have a choice
I know we'll make it anywhere
Slower, slower
And we'll run for our lives
To think I might not see those eyes
As if you have a choice
Making up for all this mess
I'll be right beside you, dear

Even if you cannot hear my voice
Have heart, my dear
Even if it's just for a few days
But every single time I do
In all I've done
Light up, light up
Louder, louder
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I nearly do
Light up, light up
We don't have time for that
And we'll run for our lives
Makes it so hard not to cry
Why you can't raise your voice to say

As if you have a choice
Away from here
To get out of our little heads
And as we say our long goodbyes
All I want is to find an easier way
I'll sing it one last time for you
Louder, louder
We're bound to be afraid
