[Verse 1] I wrapped your dusk in my hands Like a moth in rain Held that wild gold still Till my skin knew flame Your eyes were tired From all those nights of gray So I stole one sunset And carried it your way [Pre-Chorus] If it cuts me open Let it cut me through I only wanted One clear sky for you [Chorus] I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Just to watch it fall Just to watch it fall I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Now my hands still burn But you saw it all [Verse 2] Now my palms are stained Like a broken halo I keep the heat you left Under my slow shadow You said it was enough One last orange line I gave you that ending And kept the fire mine [Pre-Chorus] If it cuts me open Let it cut me through I only wanted One clear sky for you [Chorus] I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Just to watch it fall Just to watch it fall I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Now my hands still burn But you saw it all [Bridge] Let me be the ash Let me be the proof I wore the whole day down Just to spare the blue If you find my fingers On the edge of night Know I kept your ending Lit a little while [Chorus] I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Just to watch it fall Just to watch it fall I held the sun for you I held the sun for you Now my hands still burn But you saw it all
