Lights Off

Jay Sean · All or Nothing [2009]

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

It's you that I'm missing

It's like my brain is wired up

and there's a glitch in my system

You're like a drug and now my blood won't stop itching

I'm in critical condition

someone let me out of this prison

It's like my mind is playing tricks on me lately

I could of sworn that you are still my baby

I'm on a merry-go-round

going around, driving me crazy



That's why it feels like

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

won't somebody, anybody

please just turn the lights on

I won't take one step

I can't see what's coming next

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

can't see at all (at all, at all, at all)

can't see at all (no, oh no)

can't see at all (at all)

cause it's like somebody just turned all the lights off



I don't understand how one minute I just had it all

now I can't reach you cos I'm tied up with this straight jacket on

I can't breathe (breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe)

I can't see (see, see, see, see, see, see, see)

It's like my mind is playing tricks on me lately

I could of sworn that you are still my baby

I'm on a merry-go-round

going around, driving me crazy



That's why it feels like

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

won't somebody, anybody

please just turn the lights on

I won't take one step

I can't see what's coming next

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

can't see at all (at all, at all, at all)

can't see at all (no, oh no)

can't see at all (at all)

cause it's like somebody just turned all the lights off



Used to see my world in color girl

when you left me it's like my world turned gray

turn my winter into summer girl

why won't you help me turn night to day

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't think at all

honestly it feels like I ain't living no more

can't say no more, can't see no more



Baby that's why it feels like

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

won't somebody, anybody

please just turn the lights on

I won't take one step

I can't see what's coming next

losing you is like somebody just turned all the lights off

can't see at all (at all, at all, at all)

can't see at all (no, oh no)

can't see at all (at all)

cause it's like somebody just turned all the lights off
