You Were Made for the Light

I could never know the pain and cold that’s tearing you apart
But I need you to know you’re not alone, just open up your heart
And, oh, I feel such a weight on your soul that I could never hold
And I can’t heal but I can walk along and help you bear the load

We got family gathered around, asking how bad for how long, and what led here
Yeah, sometimes I handle it wrong, just see my side of the phone, while you dodge mirrors, ay
I don’t know if I’ll hear from you at all today
When it gets too hard, you tend to hide away
But don’t stay in darkness

You were made for the light, mm yeah
You were made for the light, oh, oh
We’re broken, hoping, looking for a change
You weren’t meant for shame, you were made for the light
For the light

There’s vomit in the shower, we would talk for hours to keep you sane
You’re captive in your tower, I pray higher powers will keep you safe
Markings on your skin
Hope and body paper-thin
Things can be good again
With teary eyes, I raise your chin, yeah

And who told you to start keeping score and said you’re not valuable
Yeah, who said you weren’t enough on your own
Baby, you’re beautiful

You were made for the light
For the light
You were made for the light
For the light
We’re broken, hoping, looking for a change
You weren’t meant for shame, you were made for the light
For the light

There’s gon' be a day, looking back on all our pain like, we done came far
So we can celebrate with our wrists to the planes, showing off our scars
Like, oh, God, we done came far, so far
Oh, God, we done came far
Like, oh, God, we done came far, so far
Oh, God, we done came far

You were made for the light
For the light
(For light, for light, for light)
You were made for the light
For the light
Yeah, yeah, we’re broken, hoping, looking for a change
You weren’t meant for shame, you were made for the light
For the light

You were made for the light
