The Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You found me on the edge, don't be surprised when I look off Usually, I can fight, some nights it's easier to walk away From all the feelings and the constant running thoughts I say that I'm okay, but you know honestly I'm not today I thought I could be impossible and smile from the gut Instead I'm wondering why I got up I hide from the sun and lie to the ones I love, but My life is what dreams are made of I promised myself I'd stop writing about my sadness So I stopped making music and waited there in the blackness Like I'm sad, no, I feel really bad and in reflection You have to let it go to know you love it without question I didn't write a verse for a year 'cause every bar was more tears And it was hard to hear me arguing with scars I can't heal You know I wanted that deal, I wanted the fame We all held the glasses full of poison champagne [Chorus] You left me in the gutter, threw me to the wolves You thought that I would suffer, they led me through the cold, cold, cold, cold nights Got darker, fought my monsters I got stronger, then I saw, saw, saw the light [Verse 2] I did a thousand sessions, tryna reach perfection Handed my fucking heart in, and it came back with corrections They wanted a pop star while I wrote to fight depression Told me they believed in me, but I had my objections My manager stopped calling, and he broke my fucking heart 'Cause he liked the life I've built, and couldn't watch it fall apart I got a tattoo on my neck, he told me: "Try to look alive" I'm searching cyanide, tryna die why fucking lie People dropping like flies and spreading garbage and lies A more courageous person would've probably died And they're still talking shit, man, just get on with your lives Feels like I did fucking time but yeah I got em on mine Now I'm on sold out tours crying between cities There's a lotta time to think between Cali and New Port Richey And every label called me, but I never called 'em back What's a mansion in the hills When there's snakes in the grass [Chorus] You left me in the gutter, threw me to the wolves You thought that I would suffer, they led me through the cold, cold, cold, cold nights Got darker, fought my monsters I got stronger, then I saw, saw, saw the light You left me in the gutter, threw me to the wolves You thought that I would suffer, they led me through the cold, cold, cold, cold nights Got darker, fought my monsters I got stronger, then I saw, saw, saw the light [Outro] You left me in the, you left me in the, threw me to the wolves You thought that I would suffer, then led me
