It's been a long day
Longer than I ever remember
The days before you came
But who needs those days anyway?
We've come a long way
From the darkness of surrender, remember
Just you and me at night
Learning to light up our way
I had to shine for you like I wanted to
I promised you I'd shine for you
So that you could be so bright
You are the light
How can I tell you
All the things I need to?
I mean to, but the days keep going by
They said that time would fly away
Just know I'll be here
Long after you need me, believe me
And though we're intertwined
I know you are not mine to keep
But I will shine for you like I wanted to
I promise you I'll shine for you
So that you can be so bright
I know you will be so bright
You are the light
