live with my love

Your mother named you after someone bright 
and you play Lana on repeat at night  
You light me up, then you ghost in the dark
You shine so bright then you break like a spark

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

I gave you names that never felt alright
A joke that I made that kept you up at night
You hide your thoughts, then you lock them away
I should have called you the right name that day

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

Cuz im scared of the dark
And I can’t turn you off
Now your glow starts to fade
Please don’t leave me alone

Cuz im scared of the dark
And I can’t turn you off
Now your glow starts to fade
Please don’t leave me alone

Alone….

You chase a name that the whole world can see
The only one that you need was from me

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

live with my love
