Dark to Light/Chained to Free

By no one at all

come on out suparplum
while the light is right
(while the light is dark)

you know i only comeout at night
when no ones around to see me
(cry)

but for some strange reason
i want you here
to hold my hand
see me shed my tears
and i'll know that you'll be there

you'll be there to hold me
(tight)
tell me everythings gonna be
(alright)

but i just can't ask you to
after all of me you've seen tonight
the shattered glass
internal fight

but i let you in
i held that door inside me
wide open
and you didn't even stare

you glanced through me
a hundred times
(tonight)
i'm starting to
not mind
the light
you're shinging on my soul

(well you know i've never felt this whole)

i'm trying not to blow out this candle
that you're holding up
to look inside
its just so dark in there
sometimes

so dark
so dark
but you're my light
at the end of this tunnel
that we call
life

and i'd love to show you in
relive my life over again
just to help you see
that i'mnot all i'm cracked up to be

and i'm grateful for your
bravery

not afraid of what you might find
if you unblock this waterfall of mine
and just let everythign pour out
make me forget all of my doubts

melt away all of the teas
that i've been holding in for years
until theres nothing left fopr you to see
except the joy you bring to me

now you've see me at my worst
and i feel that you've lifed this curse
that chained my heart up to a wall
and i feel myself fall

but i've landed this time
with my feet on the ground

and you were there to catch me if i fell

i wish i hadn't doubted you at first

you are everything
that i was afraid
to hope you would be
i'm not locked
inside my misery
i feel myself coming
clean
i feel now that i
am
free

i
f e e l
now

thank you for that
