Chandelier (Feat Lauriana Mae) Lyrics

Hold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierWhat's a song if it don't have words?
What's the word if it don't get heard
You can paint it anyway that you like
How can you get the picture if it come out blurred
What life taught me can't be unlearned
And every bridge can't be unburned
You can't wait 'til you get your turn
I could try to make it home but you're still on third
Look, your whole life need a renovation
Yea, let me give you a demonstration
No limitations, no intimidation
I'm tryna live good, that's an understatement
They say life's about choices
In the face of defeat I declined
Put your soul into everything, never back down

That's how you leave a legacy behindHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierThe world don't stop so we don't quit
The show goes on, tomorrow's here today
So live your life and do your thing
Enjoy each moment, it could slip away
'Cause nothing is promised, nothing is free
There ain't no receipts or guarantees
When it's done, there will be no severance fee
Just a far away dream you've yet to reach
That's why you have to go all out for it
No half-time, gotta ball out for it
Full court press, life is the test
Can't play sick, can't call out for it
'Cause I don't wanna fall, no skydive
Stand tall through it all, that's a high rise
Make a something out of absolutely nothing
That's the definition of a survivorHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierSo let me be like the trees
Where I can rustle my leaves
To join the wind in the sky
If this was all a mistake, I'd rather leave this place
Than be a breathing lieHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelierJust keep me shining like a chandelier
Just keep me shining like a chandelierHold me when I'm down
Bury my soul underneath the ground
Let my blood keep pumping, my heart keep beating
Shining like a chandelier
