Lights (Single Version)

Ellie Goulding · Halcyon Days [2013]

I had a way then, losing it all on my own.

I had a heart then but the Queen has been overthrown.

And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat.

And I'm not keeping up, the strength I need to push me.



You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.

You shine it when I'm alone.

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-calling-calling home.

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone.



Noises, I play within my head

Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing.

And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept

In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe.



You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.

You shine it when I'm alone.

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-calling-calling home.

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.

You shine it when I'm alone.

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.

You shine it when I'm alone.

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong and dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling-calling-calling me home

Calling-calling-calling home.

You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone.

You shine it when I'm alone.
