[Verse 1]
You used to keep me a secret
That nobody else could know
Made me feel so alone
But I'll be damned if I let it show
But now it's like you hardly know me
So I've been busy minding my own
But I'm finding your finger prints
In some places they don't belong
[Chorus]
Be careful 'cause the lights come on
Without a warning
People seem so confused
When they take home what they earn
[Verse 2]
He left a dark place behind him
And hell was just a bottle away
But heaven's what he sold himself
At the end of a long day
Surprised him when she came home early
Caught him with his hand in the jar
He tried to protest
But he was already done for
[Bridge]
Messes in the dark make headlines every morning
Everyone makes mistakes
Like it's the only way we learn
[Chorus]
Be careful 'cause the lights come on
Without a warning
People seem so confused
When they're caught with some bullshit
Messes in the dark make headlines every morning
Everyone makes mistakes
Like it's the only way we learn
