When you try your , 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
Stuck in
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love , 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
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
