"lighthouse" lyrics
"lighthouse"
I need a do-over, how did we end up this way?
I'm so confused, lover. Did I mistake love and pain?
Ain't got no shine left I couldn't hide it
I almost lost all my light, and
I didn't choose sober but my eyes can't look away
I see our true colors lately, we've been lookin' grey
I can't turn back now
'Cause you take me back down
That road that always seems to come right back around
Remember when
We had dreams to fly away?
But that was then
Now our story's just a page
Like a wave you're always crashing into me, crashing into me
And these days are harder than they used to be, than they used to be
No shooting stars can, fix what we aren't and
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning out?
It's such a shame when your wants and needs they don't align
Which road to take 'cause your hand's no longer holdin' mine?
I guess that's life and sometimes you fight and
Sometimes you walk away in order to survive
Remember when
There was nowhere to throw blame
But that was then
And now it's when you use my name
Like a chill in my bones when you say to me, what you say to me
I thought I found home, but hidden underneath we were crumbling
No shooting stars can fix what we aren't and
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning out?
And I feel what we were washing over me, questioning everything, all the time
And I keep all the ways that you wanted me to be different fresh in my mind
What you loved, what you wanted, what you held so high when we first met in hindsight (Ooh)
Were the things that you tried and asked me to change
As if I could do that (Ooh)
Like a wave you're always crashing into me, crashing into me
And these days are harder than they used to be, than they used to be
No shooting stars can fix what we aren't and
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

"Lighthouse" was the final promotional single from Kelly Clarkson's tenth studio album, "Chemistry". The single was released on the 21st of June, 2023. The accompanying live music video was directed by Jeff Powers and filmed at The Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.
Kelly Clarkson said of this, "This is possibly the saddest song I've ever written. [...] I wrote this song and I was like didn't think I should release this. People are gonna be like 'Is she okay?' and I wasn't then. So anyway I know right I'm not alone and everybody unfortunately has probably been here so I'm really sorry for that in advance. It's just it was one of the things that just it's over is like what the song kind represents of."
