Raise Up
Tyler Ward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you and I should call it quits
But we never do
Cause I keep running back to you
Don't leave me alone
I'm at my best when I'm with you
:
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
Tonight we fight
Tonight we fall
Tonight is when we love again
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Beyond the past
We can make it last
Tonight is when we love again
We're face to face
But it still feels like I can't get to you
They say drop the chase
That's just something I could never do
Come outta your daze
You may not feel this like I do
But you know someday
I'm gonna get to you
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Tonight we fight
Tonight we fall
Tonight is when we love again
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Beyond the past
We can make it last
Tonight is when we love again
We were raised
Sons and daughters
By the sins
Of our fathers
They took fame
We take honor
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Tonight we fight
Tonight we fall
Tonight is when we love again
Raise up your glass for broken hearts
These shattered pieces form the scars
Beyond the past
We can make it last
Tonight is when we love again
