Source: https://howtopromptsuno.com/making-music

Define the words and structure of your song using Suno tags and section labels. Avoid sound cues, asterisks, or style descriptions within the lyrics field.

```text
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I keep my thoughts on a shorter line
So I can read them in real time
If I get lost, I circle back
I find the thread, I find the track

[Pre-Chorus]
It is not perfect, it is enough
I let it go, I let it come

[Chorus]
HOLD ON
If the night gets loud, I turn it down
HOLD ON
If the lights go out, I feel my way around
HOLD ON
I am here, I am here, I am here right now

[Verse 2]
The world moves fast, I move in place
I keep my focus, I keep my pace
The noise can talk, the noise can try
I let it pass, I let it slide

[Bridge]
No new story
Same old truth
I come back to what I can do

[Final Chorus]
HOLD ON
If the night gets loud, I turn it down
HOLD ON
If the lights go out, I feel my way around
HOLD ON
I am here, I am here, I am here right now

[Outro]
```

Walking through the city lights,
Hand in hand, under starry skies,
Every step we take feels right,
With you, I'm alive tonight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat racing to the rhythm,
Feel the magic in the air,
No fears, just you and me,
Nothing else can compare.

[Chorus]
Let's shine tonight, like diamonds in the dark,
Illuminate our hearts, ignite the spark,
Together we'll light up the sky,
Nothing's gonna stop us now,
We'll shine tonight.

[Verse 2]
Laughing as the world fades away,
Lost in moments we create,
Every glance, every smile,
With you, I could stay forever.

[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat racing to the rhythm,
Feel the magic in the air,
No fears, just you and me,
Nothing else can compare.

[Chorus]
Let's shine tonight, like diamonds in the dark,
Illuminate our hearts, ignite the spark,
Together we'll light up the sky,
Nothing's gonna stop us now,
We'll shine tonight.

[Bridge]
When the night turns into day,
And the stars begin to fade,
Our light will never die,
We'll keep shining, side by side.

[Chorus]
Let's shine tonight, like diamonds in the dark,
Illuminate our hearts, ignite the spark,
Together we'll light up the sky,
Nothing's gonna stop us now,
We'll shine tonight.

[Outro]
Shine tonight, shine tonight,
With you, everything's so bright,
Shine tonight, shine tonight,
Together, we'll light up the night.

Provides a structured lyrical format with verses and choruses, suitable for input into Suno. Ensure lyrics are well-organized for better song generation.

```lyrics
[Verse 1]
Not a day
I don’t twist the truth
Tie it up
Like a broken shoelace loop
Every lie
Got your name tattooed
On the side
Of the things I ruin
 
[Chorus]
Not a day without my best excuse
(It’s all because of you, because of you)
Every mess I make
I blame on you
(What else can I do, can I do)
If I ever owned my part
I’d have to face the way I bruised you
So I hide behind my best excuse
And I use you
I use you
 
[Verse 2]
You said
“Don’t
Don’t be cruel”
But I laughed
Played the jester in your room
“I just am
I do what I do”
Shrugged it off
As I pushed right through you
 
[Chorus]
Not a day without my best excuse
(It’s all because of you, because of you)
Every mess I make
I blame on you
(What else can I do, can I do)
If I ever owned my part
I’d have to face the way I bruised you
So I hide behind my best excuse
And I use you
I use you
