"Define You" lyrics

Are you waiting in the fading light
Lost in what you understand
Witness to the will of time
Watching it run out of your hands?

Has the hurt that you've carried so long
Left an unmistakable scar
Challenged you for all that you're worth
Questioned all of who you are?

I know the darkness takes a hold

But, no matter what happened (ooh)
Whatever won't let your soul shine through (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
Leave the past in the past (ooh)
It doesn't have to be your truth (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)

If you let go of the hope that you had
If you've given all your goodness away
My love is always at your back
Willing every dawn to break

For the memory that you hold of the past
There is love behind the pain that you keep
But, when it's holding you from finding your path
The time will come to set it all free

But, no matter what happened (ooh)
Whatever won't let your soul shine through (ooh)
It doesn't define you, no (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
Leave the past in the past, oh (ooh)
It doesn't have to be your truth (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)

Oh, I know that you will see yourself (ooh)
In the way I see you now
I have always known
Deep in your heart
There is a light that won't ever burn out

Through all the cold, through all the rain (ooh)
I know hope can be hard to find
But until then I'll be standing by your side

No matter what happened
Whatever won't let your soul shine through
It doesn't define you, no
It doesn't define you
Define you

Leave the past in the past, ah (ooh)
It doesn't have to be your truth (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)

Leave the past in the past (ooh)
It doesn't have to be your truth (ooh)
It doesn't define you, no (ooh)
It doesn't define you (ooh)
Define you, no (ooh)
