Lighthouse (Song)
Verse
I don’t have any answers, though I'm searching for them all
I look for the guidance I need, but no one sees the fall
Now I'm out here on my own, wondering when this was the norm
When did I become so used to being alone
I made myself believe that I didn’t need anybody
But find myself hoping for someone to come save me
I no longer feel at home, in a house that’s not my own
I've got to get out of here
Chorus
So, I'll run to the lighthouse
The place I feel safe
If I can’t save me, then I'll hide away
I'll fend off the darkness
Fight away the pain
The scars will remind me, everything’s ok
If you see me, don’t turn away
I'll likely need help
Though I'd never admit it to you
Post Chorus:
Oh, lighthouse shelter me
Oh, the only place I feel free
Instrumental
Verse:
And I'll keep pretending, like I'm alright
As long as you don’t see, what’s on the inside
I feel as though no one cares, though I know its untrue
But I can’t help the thoughts, that run through my head
There is one truth that I believe, that I know is real
And it’s the fact that if I were to fall, no one would hear
The only one who ever hears me cry in the night
Is the darkness surrounding me on all sides
Chorus
So, I'll run to the lighthouse
The place I feel safe
If I can’t save me, then I'll hide away
I'll fend off the darkness
Fight away the pain
The scars will remind me, everything’s ok
If you see me, don’t turn away
I'll likely need help
Though I'd never admit it to you
Post Chorus:
Oh, lighthouse shelter me
Oh, the only place I feel free
Free
Bridge:
Walking on the beach at night
Holding myself together
Why can’t I feel alive
Why don’t I feel a thing!
My emotions have left me
Without a single tear
I can’t help it
They just don’t seem real
Even if I was saved
Would I even know
I'd likely push it away
Cuz that’s all I've ever known
I don’t know any better
Chorus
So, I'll run to the lighthouse
The place I feel safe
If I can’t save me, then I'll hide away
I'll fend off the darkness
Fight away the pain
The scars will remind me, everything’s ok
If you see me, don’t turn away
I'll likely need help
Though I'd never admit it to you
Post Chorus:
Oh, lighthouse shelter me
Oh, the only place I feel free
Oh, lighthouse shelter me
