lyrics
Don’t prove my worth with my smile
or the rose on the edge of my face
or the way I carry me and all of the
daylight, night time
warm me up, just another hour at the fire
we were watching long ago in winter
hear me out before I go
you’re the only one I ever thought I could
grow towards without
losing out on light; on
daylight, night time
warm me up, I will keep these
hours like a gift I’d always
wanted to receive
I don’t want to believe that we’ll never cross paths again, but
I don’t want to live this life only throwing away all of this
daylight, night time
daylight, night time
I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’ away from my
I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’ away from my
Fear, conviction, heritage, fascination
Longing and fulfillment
Weakness and resilience are my life
I’ll take back what was always my life
I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’ away from my
I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’, I’ll stop runnin’ away from my
Fear, conviction, heritage, fascination
Longing and fulfillment
weakness and resilience are my life
