歌詞

They say the 20s are the best years of your life But I seem to be spending mine missing sunsets 'Cause I'm busy on my phone observing everyone else How I compare and obsess Just me, my phone and these walls And I've been sober for some months, but I can feel the demons waiting on my downfall Since I'm so ugly and irrelevant I've been losing friends as if I'm tryna get rid of them I googled why I'm so desperate for validation and sedatives, huh Calling men who don't give a... about me Then when my mother called I pretend I'm busy I'm tryna end up anywhere except from where I been Curtains closed, bed bound, amphetamines Mmm, and this devil on my shoulder, man, I'm tryna shake him off My ex is on my timeline, it's as if he's showing off My self esteem is Facetune and ring lights My ego is conquering new heights I think I need some (Think I need some) Do you need some? (Do you need some?) Don't we all need some (We all need some) Light? (Let there be light) I think I need some I lied, I don't think I (Know I need some) I need some light (Some sweet sunshine) To feel alright (Please, let there be light) I see a sad little sinner in the mirror The devil works hard like my liver I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die A fistful of pills, you're a nobody Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Bang bang, that's depression at the door again You know he'll beat the door down till you let him in the room Since you are already acquainted, you skip the foreplay He grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed You try to muster a flare to tell somebody you're sinking But anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips A whiskey bottle it whispers since you're already bitter A cocktail fit for a quitter, come here and give me a kiss I see a sad little sinner in the mirror The devil works hard like my liver I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes I got nothing left to lose Dear God in the sky Hear my cry! Hear my cry! When it's too dark to see, let there be light Let there be light Let there be light Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer And make my arse look bigger so that I'm someone you aspire to Let me in your algorithm, please I know I'll only be important if I'm someone you would like, follow, share and subscribe to If you're thirsty like me Mix some pity with some self-hate Stir it up, then add 12 ounces of rosé That's how I make the glass half empty and drink it down Beneath the curse words and the insecurities, here lies a sorry little soul And she doesn't even know what to pray for Still just a heartbroke bitch But I traded the back of the nightclub I did for the bathroom floor I wish I could call my ex He would know just what to say He don't say nothing at all now It brings a tear to my eye The only thing I rely on him to do is stay declining my calls now I see a sad little sinner in the mirror The devil works hard like my liver I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die A fistful of pills, and rivers in my eyes I got nothing left to lose Dear God in the sky Hear my cry! Hear my cry! When it's too dark to see, let there be light Let there be light Let there be light Little girls that have no self-esteem A little boy without a father tries to find him in the streets A girl I used to walk to school with took her life, now rest in peace Fake democracy Killing overseas Killing ourselves Suicide Government lies Discrimination Hating ourselves Why hope? Why keep going? Why try? Why? Genesis 1, verse 3, I'll dry my eyes The only thing which darkness cannot coexist is the light I see a sad little sinner in the mirror The devil works hard like my liver I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die A fistful of pills, and rivers in my eyes I got nothing left to lose Dear God in the sky Hear my cry! Would you hear my cry? When it's too dark to see, let there be light Let there be light Let there be light Yeah, I want that I want that light, Lord Please (Let there be light) Oh let there be, oh Oh let there be, oh Oh, that light See I want that light in my house (Oh let there be light) I want that light in my car (Oh let there be light) I want that light in my pain (Oh let there be light) I want that light when it's dark, dark, dark, dark Oh no let there be, oh let there be, oh-oh that light No, no, no, no, no, let there, let there be light For all the fathers and the teachers (Working hard in the night) For all the builders and the cleaners (I pray let there be light) Oh, for all the farmers and the chefs and the train drivers, yes The nurses and the doctors, God bless the NHS Let the pay rise, let the pay rise Oh let there be light, light, light For all those overworked and underpaid And dreams are somewhere out of sight, mmm Let there be light Single mothers all alone (She's all alone) The baby's crying, and she's crying tears too to her sister on the phone Bring her comfort (Bring her comfort), bring her peace (Bring her peace) I pray Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah (Please) Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout Oh let there be Lord, let there be Don't we all need a little See, I want that That light in my house (Oh let there be light) I want that light in my car, yeah (Oh let there be light) I want that light in my dreams Light up the dark yes Light up the dark, Lord (Oh let there be light) Let there be light, Lord
