When you try your best but 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 When the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you High up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go If you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears come streaming down your face And I Tears come streaming down your face I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes Tears come streaming down your face And I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
