[Verse 1]
I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
Oh, and I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now
The strength I need to push me
[Chorus]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone (Home)
You shine it when I'm alone (Home)
[Verse 2]
Noises
I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that I'm still breathin', yeah
And I think back to whеn
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlockеd place
The only time I feel safe
[Chorus]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me, turn to ooh
You shine it when I'm alone (Home)
[Post-Chorus]
You show the lights, the lights, the lights, the lights, the lights, oh oh
You show the lights, the lights, the lights
[Chorus]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling
Calling, calling, calling
You show the lights that stop me, turn to ooh
[Post-Chorus]
You show the lights, the lights, the lights, the lights, the lights
Oh, no no no
No
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no no, ooh
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, no
