I could run
I could cry
I could plead
I could say it's never gonna get any better and leave
I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I'm strong enough
To give all the love that I need
Chorus:
But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard
I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight (5x)
I could count
Every time that I've fallen
Even when I'm in so deep
It gets hard to see
You're still all in
I've been lost
By myself in the darkness
Know that I can find my way
Even on the days when it's hardest
[Chorus]
You'll be my nightlight (5x)
