Artist：Ellie Goulding
Song：Lights

I had a way then
losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
but the queen¹ has been overthrown²
and i'm not sleeping now
the dark is too hard to beat
and i'm not keeping up
the strength³ I need to push me

you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone
and so I tell myself that i'll be strong
and dreaming when theyre gone
cuz theyre calling, calling, calling me home
calling, calling, calling home
you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone

noises, I play within⁴ my head
touch my own skin
and hope they'll still be there
and i think back to when
my brother and my sister slept
in another place
the only time I feel safe

you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone
and so i tell myself that i'll be strong
and dreaming when theyre gone
cuz theyre calling, calling, calling me home
calling, calling, calling home
you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone

lights, lights (x14)

you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone
and so i tell myself that i'll be strong
and dreaming when theyre gone
cuz theyre calling, calling, calling me home
calling, calling, calling home
you show the lights that stop me turn to stone
you shine them when im alone

home, home
(lights, lights, lights)...
