light of gold

You were the light I tried to hold, A quiet fire wrapped in gold, A treasure I mistook for something true. But every time I reached for you, The weight of what we couldn’t be Pulled me under, left me drifting through the blue. It cuts to watch you turn away, To feel the echo where you stayed, And still I crave your shadow next to mine — Just one more night, Just one more night. Another sunrise passes by, Dust of dreams we let collide, And I’m standing in the ruins of our truth. For centuries I’d wait right here, Your memory carved in crystal clear, But I can’t keep defending what we lose. I can’t defend your love. No, I can’t defend your love. Still I whisper for one more night. You were the light I tried to hold, A quiet fire wrapped in gold, A treasure I believed would see me through. But every time I reached for you, The truth came crashing like a flood — I can’t keep defending what we knew. I can’t defend your love. I can’t defend your love.
