[Verse 1]
It's a tired drumbeat in my chest
I left all the ones I loved the best
Loneliness was stripping off her dress
And that's alright

[Verse 2]
I was getting used to cutting ties
And rubbing out your crayon drawing eyes
Said you didn't wanna stay the night
And that's alright

[Chorus]
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
A comedy is crying in my head
Sinking while I'm filling up with dread
Try sometimes to savе you from my bed
'Cause I'm a lie, oh-oh, woah
[Verse 4]
I'm tеrrified you've seen my fake machine
'Cause skin is only fleeting velveteen
Bouncing on the stormiest of seas
'Til morning light

[Chorus]
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light (Hold the light)

[Post-Chorus]
Hold the light
Hold the light
Hold the light
Hold the light

[Chorus]
When it gets colder, it's alright
We're lonely soldiers in the deep, dark night
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to fight
Don't have to be over, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light, oh-oh-oh
Just hold the light
Hold the light
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Hold the light)
Ooh (Hold the light)
Ooh (Hold the light)
Ooh (Hold the light)

[Outro]
Ooh (Hold the light)
Ooh (Hold the light)
Hold the light
Hold the light
