Dimmer Switch Lyrics

Mama told me when I was a girl

I had a way of bein' in the world that was magic

Yeah I was magic

You were a dimmer switch

You made my world small

Took my light away left me with nothin' at all

Oh and I looked in at myself

Saw the child needed some help so now

I'm gonna guard my light

Not let it outta my sight again

No more playin' pretend

Every put down

Every rule

Every moment I wasted on you I'm sorry to

That girl I knew

Papa told me when I was a child

I had a laugh and a smile that were magic

Yeah I was magic

Then you came along and you hushed my song

Took my light away

It felt so wrong

Yeah, I knew it was wrong

Oh and I looked in at myself

Told the child I would give her my help and now

I'm gonna guard my light

Not let it outta my sight again

No more playing pretend

Every put down

Every rule

Every moment I wasted on you I'm sorry to

That girl I knew

Now that I've moved on

I sing my song

I'm on my own

Sometimes it gets lonely

I am the only

I smile from ear to ear

I shed every tear

I can feel it all cause my life is so magic and I am so magic

Oh and I see myself

I'm a child

I'm gonna guard my light

Not let it outta my sight again

Now more playing pretend'

Every put down

Every rule

Every moment I wasted on you I'm sorry to

That girl I knew

They say when you look at a star

You're lookin back so far its the creation

What a beautiful thing

Mm
