VERSE 1
I look in the mirror and a stranger looks back
Lost in the wreckage of the life that I've cracked
Someone at the bar nursing something cold
There's a kid in the darkness, a story untold
We don't speak of the monsters in our veins
But I see it in your eyes, the grip of the chains
CHORUS
Hold on, don't let it take you down
There's a million burning in the dark
Hold on, you don't fight alone
There's a fire that's burning in your heart
We're all just holding on, holding on
Don't let the darkness win
VERSE 2
The needle's just a moment, bottle's just a friend
But the moment always leaves you, friendship ends
One pill becomes a handful, one drink too much
You're running from the wreckage that you've made
Addiction whispers in the dark
Says you're broken, says you've lost your spark
CHORUS
Hold on, don't let it take you down
There's a million burning in the dark
Hold on, you don't fight alone
There's a fire that's burning in your heart
We're all just holding on, holding on
Don't let the darkness win
VERSE 3
I swore I'd walk away and meant it all
But the voice inside keeps answering the call
I made it through the hours, made it through the night
But it whispers one more hit will set things right
I'm standing at the line I said I'd never cross
And it's pulling me back to what I've lost
CHORUS
Hold on, don't let it take you down
There's a million burning in the dark
Hold on, you don't fight alone
There's a fire that's burning in your heart
We're all just holding on, holding on
Don't let the darkness win
VERSE 4
But I'm done listening to the voice that lies
I'm done believing I don't deserve to rise
I'm taking back the power that I gave away
I'm fighting for the life I can reclaim today
There are hands reaching out, I'm not alone
I'm walking towards the light, I'm coming home
BRIDGE
You decide you're done surrendering
You decide you're more than what you've done
Take it one hour at a time, one breath
There are people who have walked this road
There are hands reaching through the dark
There's a million burning in the dark
FINAL CHORUS
Hold on, don't let it take you down
There's a million burning in the dark
Hold on, you don't fight alone
There's a fire that's burning in your heart
We're all just holding on, holding on
Don't let the darkness win
Don't let the darkness win
Don't let the darkness win
