Letting Go of Tonight
Underoath · Play Your Old Stuff [2011]
when death was on my mind
or when you held onto me
when the world let me fallbehind
you were love to me rather than just a word
a friend was all you were
and it changed my heart
stood next to me through the storm
felt the wounds and kept me warm
something i had never seen before
and i thank you
