[Intro]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Lights out, I can still see your face
Right now, I need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
Get out (You broke my shit, oh, you spat in my eye)
Ayy, what the fu—
[Verse 1]
Girl, your beauty's your weapon
Still got memories of seein' you undressin' (Yeah, I see it, yeah)
Miss your imprint on me and caressin'
Know you'll be back, I left a good impression
It take me, I told her, "Stand down"
No, I'm not a boy no more, lil' bitch, yeah, I'm a man now
Saw you throw my heart up on the floor
I watch you slam down, slam down
Wish I never fell in love in this town, this town, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the light
You can't replace me, I'm the prototype
Know that I'm broken, see it in my eyes
Hate when I woke up, you weren't by my side
Blinded by love, I was wastin' my time
[Chorus]
Lights out, I still see your face
Need you right now, need you right away
And it's lights out, no, I can't escape
Need to get out before it's too late
Lights out, I still see your face
Lights out, need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
Fuck, lights out, before it's too late
[Verse 2]
I been stumblin' (Yeah)
I can't walk straight (I can't)
First, I'll fall in love (Oh, yeah)
Then it's a heartbreak (Yeah)
Thought you were the one (The one)
We hit that pump-fake (Yeah, that pump-fake)
You texted me, "We're done" (We're done)
Couldn't say it to my face (Oh, yeah)
Is this what we'll become? (Oh, yeah)
Is this what you think? (Oh, yeah)
But let me hold my tongue (Oh, yeah)
I'll say some real things (Oh, yeah)
I know you miss my mood swings (Okay)
Yeah, I know you miss my mood swings
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the light
You can't replace me, I'm the prototype
Know that I'm broken, see it in my eyes
Hate when I woke up, you weren't by my side
Blinded by love, I was wastin' my time
[Chorus]
Lights out, I still see your face
Need you right now, need you right away
And it's lights out, no, I can't escape
Need to get out before it's too late
Lights out, I still see your face
Lights out, need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
Fuck, lights out, before it's too late
[Outro]
You know, we just want you to be your very best
'Cause we noticed you found your gift
It's not every—, everybody doesn't find their gift
You found your gift
