Today I died
In search of you
It takes a cut
To heal a wound
And I don't even understand it
Things didn't go
The way I planned it
But these neon lights
Lead me to you

And I don't know
What I was told
Or why I walked
The darkest roads
But now these eyes
See streets of gold

Burn me bright
Or let me go
Make me stronger
On the inside
Hold me tight
Or just let go
'Cause I don't want it
If I can't glow (shine)

My heart has grown
Right next to you
Your steady hands
Have pulled me through
And every now and then
I'll see it
A glimpse of what
My life is meaning
But to do it right
You must let go, oh-oh

And I don't know
What I was told
Or why I walked
The darkest roads
But now these eyes
See streets of gold

Burn me bright, or let me go
Make me stronger on the inside
Hold me tight, or just let go
Cause I don't want it, if I can't glow
