Lyrics

I could run
I could cry, I could plead
I could say it's never gonna get
Any better and leave
I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I'm strong enough
To give all the love that I need
But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard
I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Told me I shouldn't watch, got in your car
Then we were nothing
All the nights in your room, shit we got through
Left in your dust, yeah
Don't know what you got, but I thought we had it
Now I'm supposed to act like it doesn't matter
But I'm writing it down, getting it out
Here's to me hoping
Someday I'll come home
And feel like no one's even gone
Play this at my shows
And know that I've been moving on
Someday I'll go to bed and I'll forget I'm lyin' in your spot
But until someday comes
I'll be writing sad songs
What do you want from me tonight?
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I'm not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes
Ooh-ooh-ooh
From the ashes
Ooh-ooh-ooh
If I died in your arms, it's right where I'm supposed to be
You know I'm not afraid as long as you're next to me
So tell me, will you hold me when the curtains close?
If I died in your arms, it's right where I'm supposed to be
You'll be my nightlight
I'll be writing sad songs
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll be writing sad songs
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
On the other side
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
If I died in your arms that's right where I'm supposed to be
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause it's all that really matters in the end
I say that's my life
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
If I died in your arms it's right where I'm supposed to be
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
If I'll die in your arms it's right where I'm suppose to be
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
