[Verse 1]
I stood at the edge
With my name in my teeth
The dark said my name
Like it knew me by heart
My hands were a storm
But my body stayed here
A crack in the hour
Let the world breathe through
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard my own pulse
Like a fist on the door
I let it come in
I let it stay
There was blood in my mind
And a war in my chest
But something still said
Wait
[Chorus]
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
I am still here
And I know that pain
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
If you are in the dark
I will stay with your name
[Verse 2]
Now I keep the porch on
When the hour goes cold
I know how it feels
To be split from your skin
To smile at a room
While you’re sinking below
To hear help come late
And still hold on tight
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you are drowning
And calling it sleep
If your mouth is full
Of the same old rain
Put one small word
In the air tonight
I will answer back
I will answer back
[Chorus]
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
I am still here
And I know that pain
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
If you are in the dark
I will stay with your name
[Bridge]
I was not made
To be a grave
I was made
To break open
For every locked room
For every locked throat
For every soul
That forgot it could open
[Final Chorus]
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
I am still here
And I know that pain
I lived through the night
I lived through the night
(through the night)
If you are in the dark
I will stay with your name
I will stay with your name
(you are not alone)
