Lightbulbs

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
