"Lights Up" lyrics

"Lights Up"

Hey look, mum, I made it
Do you think they know I hate it?
Sometimes I need a friend
Sometimes I can't pretend, I
Give up, giving up
Hate to say that it's a lot, but it's a lot
I'm lost and I'm raw
And you want me to give you more

But the cracks have started to show
Each direction is the wrong way to go
It's so heavy
But it's mine to hold
It's so heavy
But it's mine to hold

The show must go on
I'm asleep when I wake up
Can you cover my heart with make-up?
The show must go on
Always there when the lights go off
But when the lights come on, you're gone

So young but I feel so old
Always trying to change what I am inside
I'm weak but my skin looks strong
Where the fuck do I belong?
I don't know who to call so I run till I fall
I don't know how to stop and it's all my fault

But the cracks have started to show
Each direction is the wrong way to go
It's so heavy
But it's mine to hold
It's so heavy
But it's mine to hold

The show must go on
Always there when the lights go off
The show must go on
When the lights come on
You're gone
