"One More Light" lyrics

"One More Light"

Should've stayed. Were there signs I ignored?
Can I help you not to hurt anymore?
We saw brilliance when the world was asleep
There are things that we can have but can't keep

If they say

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do

The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen one more chair than you need
Oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there

If they say

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do

Who cares if one more light goes out
In the sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are?
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well, I do
Well, I do

The lyrics of this song were inspired by the tragic death of a friend of Mike Shinoda and Eg White. Shinoda explained, "The point of the song is that through something really, really traumatic… one of the most important things you can do is to let people know that you care."
The music video for this song was released after Chester Bennington's suicide and it's made of the band's history clips and footage from their 2017 world tour. Mike Shinoda said, "Fans everywhere were making these montages of images of Chester, images of themselves to this song... and we wanted to let them know we see that, we hear that, so we made an official video for that."
