lyrics

I read your diary
It’s a hard read, but not a waste of ink
It’s tragic and bleak
But that’s relatable and worth more than you think
Every burning star, every light that you carry,
casting both a shadow and a glow
Every step you take is a fight
but still you’re moving
And that’s moving for your reader, ya know

It’s hard to be alone
Harder still to be lonely when everybody’s home
And no matter where you go
You can’t escape the feeling
that you’ve got a feeling nobody else knows

You wake up
To that devil’s hum
Scared to sleep
For what you dream
Every night, it gets so dark
You’re like a black hole
Son, you’re like a spark

Every burning star, every light that you carry,
casting both a shadow and a glow
Every word you write is a light that you are saving
It’s a shame you’re not saving your own

I read your diary
It’s a hard read, but not a waste of ink
