When the Lights Go Out Songtext
von Adam Turley

You′re lookin' at me, the smile that says I′m happy
You know the sad thing? It's never been this lonely
Why am I laughing when I don't think you′re funny?
I feel so badly for givin′ up the old me

And when I really break down, my bad
Start to realize I might have failed ya
I didn't try, I compromised who I am inside
And I′ve been keepin' chips on my shoulders
Instead of wiser, I′m just gettin' older
I just watch me die, I think I need to save my life

I wonder, when did I sell out?
When will I learn to trust myself?
Who am I when the lights go out?
When the lights go out
I guess I really lost myself by tryin′ to be someone else
Who am I when the lights go out?
When the lights go out


Everybody's tryna be so loud
Should I open up, or should I shut my mouth?
Every time I speak, it's like you′re zonin′ out
I guess that's what I get for bein′ vulnerable

I could lie and say I don't really care what you think
But I die every time I feel there′s things you're hidin′
Why's it so hard to just say what I mean?
(What do I mean?)

And when I really break down, my bad
Start to realize I might have failed ya
I didn't try, I compromised who I am inside (who I am inside)
And I′ve been keepin′ chips on my shoulders
Instead of wiser, I'm just gettin′ older (older, older, older)
I just watch me die, I think I need to save my life

I wonder, when did I sell out?
When will I learn to trust myself?
Who am I when the lights go out?
When the lights go out
I guess I really lost myself (I guess I really lost myself)
By tryin' to be someone else (tryin′ to be someone else)
Who am I when the lights go out? (Who am I when the lights go out?)
When the lights go out


When will I learn to trust myself?
When will I learn to trust myself?
When will I learn to trust myself?
Who am I when the lights go out?

When will I learn to trust myself?
When will I learn to trust myself?
When will I learn to trust myself?
Who am I when the lights go out?
