Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you try your best and you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
[Verse 2]
When the tears come streaming down your face
'Cause you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
What could be worse?
[Verse 3]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Verse 4]
But high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it show
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Verse 5]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
[Verse 6]
When tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
When tears stream down your face
And I
[Verse 7]
When tears stream down your face
I promise you I'll learn from my mistakes
When tears stream down your face
And I
[Verse 8]
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
