Turned Out The Lights
Where are you nowWhy did you goGive me a reason for leavingA reason your heart turned to stoneNow it's so coldYou saw me standing with tears in my eyesand then you turned out the lights
Dear Matt,I know we've never really met each otherBut you've helped me out so muchI felt I had to write this letterYou might not know it when your making your beatsBut every lyric and syllable's like you're speaking to meCause where I'm from they don't encourage a kid with a dreamAnd every time I have an idea that I believe inIt gets stomped or squashed and then I feel lostLike it wanna go dig a hole feeling so lowDon't get me wrong, I believe but get real MattSometimes it's difficult to achieve when people don't believe backI'm not complaining but it's hard to go after my goalsCause the people I need most just leave they're coldMy teacher told me that I'll never amount to anythingBut I wrote a chorus for you to singI know it's probably not good enoughNot even closeBut it's how I feel most so it goes
Where are you nowWhy did you goGive me a reason for leavingA reason your heart turned to stoneNow it's so coldYou saw me standing with tears in my eyesand then you turned out the lights
Lights you turned out the lightsLights why'd you turn out the lights
Everyday brings a new struggleIn every situation is a moment where a choice can bring new troubleSometimes I feel like I'm gonna bust like a bubbleHere's what I've been through, now let me inspire youI hope you never have to feel what it's like, to feel lostThe cost of not a friend in siteDespite your best efforts you can't fight backWhen you love someone but they don't love you back MattRemember us in your lyrics when you write thatThe kids that don't have it all within an arms graspCan we dream too? Or is it fantasy?
I need to place where I fit in, in the familySo I'mma choose to believe despite all of these words that stingAll of the hurtful thingsWith these few words I singJust keep it real on the mic BAnd you've got a fan for life
Where are you nowWhy did you goGive me a reason for leavingA reason your heart turned to stoneNow it's so coldYou saw me standing with tears in my eyesand then you turned out the lights
Lights you turned out the lightsLights why'd you turn out the lights
We at the point of no returnThere ain't no coming backWhen it comes to love you never know how to reactGotta keep your head upCan't live in the pastI know you feel bad but it goes in a flash
