Lights Went Out

by Praise

/
1.
Accept 01:25
The time, ten years went by Without a chance to say goodbye Took so much time, so hard to accept, that you Were never coming back I thought that as time pass Id learn to feel and to express The days went by and I couldn’t speak No words, would bring you back I was scared I didn’t want to feel And if I put it into words would it make it real? Im left to wonder where you would be If you were here if you were here with me So if I deal and learn to accept Will I lose all those memories and just forget? So if I deal and learn to accept I don’t want I don’t want to forget
2.
Safe Place 02:07
Ive tried and failed And it will happen again Its hard to find a path When you know how it will end In my mind The grass was greener on the other side But I couldn’t get there Until I tried Afraid to try Afraid to fail Afraid to change But we’re all afraid For so long I let it take control I let self doubt Grab ahold How could I? Could I get away? From that place I built Where I felt so safe. The days I waited Waited for a change The weeks I waited But it never came The months I waited Waited for a change The years I spent waiting But it never came Until I tried Until I failed Until I changed Things just stayed the same
3.
I found it hard To put my love in you When all my worst case thoughts Were the ones that came true No calls The lights went out What once lit my path Left me full of doubt So you took What we gave And pushed us away No footsteps followed Just regrets So hard to forgive When we gave our best So I watched The mistakes you made Your little brother That you pushed away Disappointment It filled our hearts And we watched You tear this family apart Resentment built For so long Kept waiting each day For you to prove me wrong
4.
To Be Me 02:55
Its taken me so much time For me to find my place Because I never had the chance To make my own mistakes It was so hard to find out who I was supposed to be When all I ever really wanted was to be ok with being me But I just hope you know… I understand what he took out of you What else could you do? I saw you just give up But I still needed your love I felt the pressure To be the good son But I never had the chance to be the bad one After he left I was on my own Until I found myself living For us both I still needed your love After he left I was on my own But I am still living for us both
5.
Reach Deep 02:35
I dealt with the pain the only way I knew how But I was searching for comfort But there was no room for me to mourn How couldn’t you see I was hurt I was left alone To find my way back home I was left alone To find my way Who could I blame? How could I blame you? How could I ask for your help When you were suffering too? So I blamed myself For the anger I felt It took me years to reach Reach deep I was left alone To find my way back home How can I find it? Reach deep I never asked for you to save me Just wanted to know you were there But the walls we had created Could the ever be repaired

I've had my share Of facing pain I watched someone I love Get taken away Its just not fair Why’d they leave so soon Its hard to think that there’s Nothing we can do Its something that we share And I feel it too But Ill be with you To struggle through So I wrote it down With hope you’ll relate So you don’t feel alone With this pain So I wrote it down With hope you’ll relate When I dont have the Right things to say It happens so quick They go before there time But you’re still here to see What was left behind And when the phone calls stop And most forget I’ll be there for you To deal with it As we get older We see the things they’ll miss Getting married and having kids It’s hard to think they’ll never meet Someone so important to me But with stories we can keep them here So they can be with us through the years
7.
Did I ever feel? I still fall Lying to myself that I'm over it all The same delusions are getting old Tired of feeling like my life’s on hold Something we shared? I need to stop asking myself. It’s always been nice to hold tight To something that not have ever been right Give me the pain Something to hold onto I am holding on to memories I need to let go of you Wandering or free to roam? I've still never learned to be alone It was perfect on the surface Underneath I was always nervous Can I take a step forward? I keep turning back It’s always been nice to hold fast to something I should have left in the past Give me the pain, give me the pain Who can we blame when our feelings change
8.
The addiction it got the best of you I was so scared of who you turned into But I remember when you said You’d never be "that kid that ends up dead" That massive weight that held you back So hard to keep your life in tack But it took it took a life of its own Until you lost until you lost control We could have helped You know I tried But you held it Held it inside Were you afraid Of what we would say? But now its too late You lost your way Had no idea of how you felt But I wanted Yea I wanted to help I spoke too soft and didnt get through I could have done so much for you Didnt blame you for wanting to escape Just wish I caught it before it was too late You were so strong should have saw through the haze wasnt to late for you change your ways We could have helped You know I tried But you held it Held it inside Were you afraid Of what I would say? But now its too late You lost your way Yea I know deep down you wanted to change You lost control afraid to ask for help again felt so alone so far away from home You should have known... we could have helped
9.
You were looking for a way out Always looking for some peace But did the choices that you made Did they put your mind at ease? Just like you I was scared to feel But I didn’t find the answers In a bottle or a pill I sing this song because I loved you man I know that some of you Will never understand You never saw it Saw that I believed in you Did you see I shared those demons? And I was struggling too To find my way to fight To find choose To find way my way to battle The things that destroyed you We shared Yea I shared the pain But we try And we try and we try To find an explanation why Are we born this way? Can we change? Its not a choice to feel this pain. Still searching, still fighting, still hoping For something to take it all away.

Weight 03:01
I am learning to To let go Of all the things that I could never control I felt betrayed I felt regret It felt like something I would never accept I let my anger cover up my hurt And in the end it just made it worse People change yea they make mistakes I wont be the one to carry their weight Tired of being angry Tired of being hurt The feeling inside They just get worse I tried to forgive I tried to forget And each day I tried to forgive I tried to forget And each day I am moving on With my life Refuse to let hate Consume my time I looked deep down To see what it would bring And deep inside I found nothing I wont carry the weight
