[Verse 1]
Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you any more
Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door
[Pre-Chorus]
They might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like, you like, you like
'Cause they might how to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like
'Cause you can be your own spotlght
[Chorus]
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star you could shine so bright
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
[Verse 2]
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right?
It's always got to be happening somewhere on any given night
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you any more
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause they might how to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like
'Cause you can be your own spotlght
[Chorus] [x2]
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star you could shine so bright
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
[Bridge]
'Cause I had a little bit of bad of luck
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
Under this crumbling world, stuck
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
A little sweetness keeps just out of reach
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
'Cause you could be your own spotlight
[Chorus] [x3]
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star you could shine so bright
(Eh-oh eh-oh) You could be your own spotlight
