Lightbulbs Lyrics

We feel their warmth

We fan their flame

While they silently suffer in pain

They shine like a star

So happy from afar

But they feel all alone in the dark

How we're showing isn't working

We pretend we're okay when we know that we're not

What we feel we try to conceal

So check on the lightbulbs

You know who they are

The ones that burn brightest

The ones that ignite us

They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs

Before they go out

We don't see them dimming

The light they're emitting

Until they fade out

So check on the lightbulbs

They're trapped in a mind

That's telling them lies

Like "You'll never get through it this time"

Just be the strong one

The nothing's ever wrong one

The go-along-to-get-along one

You're fine

How we're showing isn't working

We pretend we're okay when we know that we're not

What if we revealed what is real?

So check on the lightbulbs

You know who they are

The ones that burn brightest

The ones that ignite us

They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs

Before they go out

We don't see them dimming

The light they're emitting

Until they fade out

Pick up the phone

Give them a call

Be there and listen

Show up and be the light for them

So check on the lightbulbs

You know who they are

The ones that burn brightest

The ones that ignite us

They live like a spark

So check on the lightbulbs (this little light of mine)

Before they go out (I'm gonna let it shine)

We don't see them dimming (ahh, ahh)

The light they're emitting

Until they fade out (check on the, check on the, check on the light)

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine

Let it shine
