Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What happened to your life
It's more than makeup staining your eyes
You wanna be in a better place
Say you don't wanna live this way
All alone
When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight, tonight
So hard to watch you bleed
Your fragile heart ripped at the seams
You gotta try to help me understand
But first you're gonna have to let me in
No, you're not alone
When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight, yeah
There's a light, a hope in your eyes
Like a star burning in the sky
There's a fire you can't hide tonight, oh
[x2]
When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight
