Lights - Single Version Lyrics

[00:06.79] I had a way then
[00:09.92] Losing it all on my own
[00:14.62] I had a heart then
[00:18.18] But the queen has been overthrown
[00:22.68] And I'm not sleeping now
[00:26.90] The dark is too hard to beat
[00:31.20] And I'm not keeping up
[00:34.96] The strength I need to push me
[00:38.63] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[00:43.06] You shine them when I'm alone
[00:46.63] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[00:51.25] And dreaming when they're gone
[00:54.45] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[00:59.39] Calling, calling, calling home
[01:03.27] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[01:07.47] You shine them when I'm alone
[01:10.47] (Home)
[01:11.97] Noises, I play within my head (head)
[01:18.22] Touch my own skin and hope they'll still be there
[01:26.12] And I think back to when
[01:31.06] My brother and my sister slept
[01:35.44] In another place the only time I feel safe
[01:42.99] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[01:47.36] You shine them when I'm alone
[01:50.80] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[01:55.32] And dreaming when they're gone
[01:58.48] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[02:03.33] Calling, calling, calling home
[02:06.98] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:11.25] You shine them when I'm alone
[02:14.53] (Home)
[02:15.97] (Light, lights, lights, lights)
[02:19.97] (Light, lights, lights, lights)
[02:23.75] (Light, lights, lights, lights) Home, home
[02:27.56] Light, lights
[02:31.16] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:35.75] You shine them when I'm alone
[02:39.16] And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[02:43.52] And dreaming when they're gone
[02:46.49] 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[02:51.24] Calling, calling, calling home
[02:54.66] You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[02:59.44] You shine them when I'm alone
[03:02.98] Home, home
[03:07.13] (Light, lights, lights, lights)
[03:11.33] (Light, lights, lights, lights) Home, home
[03:16.05] Lights, lights...
[03:17.93]
