The Light

Help me please
Help me be the one
Show me please
How I can be the one
'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that
So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
'Cause I understand
That you're not in love
Yeah, I'm going to be alright
I see the light
So I'm going to be alright
Yeah, I'm going to be alright
Help me feel
Help me feel alright
Bury me
Bury me alive
'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that
So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
'Cause I understand
That you're not in love
'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that
So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
Cause I understand
That you're not in love
Yeah, I'm going be alright
I see the light
So I'm going to be alright
I see the light
Yeah, I'm going to be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Yeah, I'm going be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Be alright
Yeah, I'm going be alright
