The world's against you, it's against us all

Just keep fighting or you will fall

Try a little harder, don't give up so soon

It's not my life, I can't live it for you

I would hold on tighter

If I could save you

Your legs are shaking and your hands are cold

Signs that the sickness has taken hold

Deep down you know death is the coward's way out

To live takes courage, please don't give up now

I would hold on tighter

If I could save you

But I still see a candle

In the black hole you're in

What do you want on your tombstone?

That you lived life with all your heart?

Or that you gave it up too soon

And you never even tried?

I would hold on tighter

But I can't save you

Don't blow out the candle

In the black hole you're in
