Lights Lyrics

[00:06.89] I had a way then, losing it all on my own
[00:15.27] I had a heart then, but the queen has been overthrown
[00:23.06] And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
[00:31.35] And I'm not keeping up the strength I need to push me
[00:38.91] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[00:43.55] You shine it when I'm alone
[00:47.01] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[00:51.69] And dreaming when they're gone
[00:54.76] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[00:59.88] Calling, calling, calling home
[01:03.74] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[01:07.58] You shine it when I'm alone
[01:11.53] Noises, I play within my head
[01:19.45] Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
[01:26.46] And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
[01:35.71] In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe
[01:42.95] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[01:48.06] You shine it when I'm alone
[01:51.63] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[01:55.58] And dreaming when they're gone
[01:58.75] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[02:03.59] Calling, calling, calling home
[02:07.02] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:11.85] You shine it when I'm alone
[02:15.38] Light, lights, lights, lights
[02:20.05] Light, lights, lights, lights
[02:23.94] Light, lights, lights, lights
[02:27.84] Light, lights
[02:31.29] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:35.85] You shine it when I'm alone
[02:39.36] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[02:43.47] And dreaming when they're gone
[02:46.43] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[02:51.61] Calling, calling, calling home
[02:55.51] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:59.75] You shine it when I'm alone
[03:03.87] Home (lights, lights)
[03:06.23] Home (light, lights, lights, lights, lights, lights)
[03:11.53] Home (lights, lights)
[03:13.94] Home (light, lights, lights, lights, lights, lights)
[03:20.31] Home (light, lights)
[03:22.28] Home, home (light, lights, lights, lights, lights, lights)
[03:24.02] Home (light, lights)
[03:26.23] Home (light, lights, lights, lights, lights, lights)
[03:27.13]
