[Verse 1: Pressure] The very day you were born, your love shone bold in the dark The doctor said you had a hole in your heart I just knew that you were making room for a whole lotta heart And loved you from that day until your soul would depart You took your first breath upon my chest I built you a good nest before I left It wasn't that I never loved your mother But two happy homes are better than one that suffered Ever regreting this life that I made Ever tempered by the strength in your eyes every day I know that you never said that you'd like me to stay Still I'm sorry that I neglected you while I was away You were 8 when we headed to casualty And no child should face their death or mortality You taught me patience, strength and morality And I'd burden this weight instead of you happily That night you asked if you'd die from your sickness And why had it chosen your life out of millions You filled me with the pride I was missing Cos grown men cry that lack your type of resilience Only when its dark that the stars are bright For your fight, you gon harbour these scars for life But you're a brave little soul, came in the cold Like a fighter, hope you find the same flame when you're old
[Hook: Pressure] Fall asleep and lay with me We'll search the night for shooting stars If they can't take away your pain I'll take your hand, walk through the dark The dark The dark
[Verse 2: Pressure] I wrote this while you slept in a hospital bed Noticed your breath at the cost of my breath I'd forego this life that you honour my death If you'd know what its like to live long and regret So you could fight, you could shove, you could bleed and hurt You could cry, you could love when you [?] When your strides act dumb and you teethe your words So take a wife to become your sky, sea and earth But if these are things that you never see With no god, just me, it'll set you free And most others won't understand the hell in which you've been in Till they wrestle with the demon But take heart to be brave, but first we fear the same [?] we persevere and serve you I know this world is of course unfair and hurt you But these virtues are yours to bear I named you Lionheart at the day you were born They say the night is darkest before the dawn I'll take your hand upon this path If you can light a spark and keep a face of calm in a raging storm Ain't nothing left to scare you see If you can live life and cherish every breath we breathe And no matter where you go, I won't ever leave Cos even when we're gone we're living in a memory So live on, live on
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Pressure] I'm sorry that I can't take your pain [?] Lay awake from darkened sky's I'll say your name and cast a light You're a flame on a starless night And I didn't know I was lost till you found me Didn't know what was locked in without keys But we can walk across all these boundries You and me, nothing here to stop you You're now free So I wrote this to give you hope For every good thing in life you'll live to know They say cancer survivors are gifted though Let me know if that isn't so
