Track: Don't Give Up Your Bright Side

Wrote this for a friend

Got a little drunk and wrote a song for a friend. So it’s a bit short and presumptuous, and parts don’t make any sense, but the meter worked out well I think.

Lyrics

[intro]
Nobody knows, how much you fought for this
Nobody goes, to the lengths you've gone for this 
Somebody should show you the spirit you show the world
Anybody that won't hear you, over the fucked up, noise inside their heart
Doesn't earn the right to do you wrong

[Verse]
So don't sweat it there's a life out in the great wide
World. You don't have to be the one to sacrifice
It is enough that the glow inside your soul's bright
And it's brighter than each star's light

[Chorus]
No don't give up your Bright side
Though it hurts, hold onto the bright light
All their current disappointments will fade away
As long as you don't give up what makes you special

[Interlude]

[Verse]
Everyone you love is going to be alright
Cause, your beating heart is holding up every side.
So take the path that won't leave you in the dark night
Wondering if, there's more to life. 

[Chorus]
No don't give up your Bright side
Though it hurts, hold onto the bright light
All their current disappointments will fade away
As long as you don't give up what makes you special

[Outro]
Nobody gets to tell where you belong
Nobody should guilt you into settling
For anything less than the love you give
The world should live
To give it back
Don't take it back
Just to make things easier
For those who just don't know

No don't give up your Bright side
Though it hurts, hold onto the bright light
All their current disappointments will fade away
As long as you don't give up what makes you special
