The lady once told me, you don’t need a house, you need a home You can have it all, but it won’t mean a thing if you don’t belong To someone who knows you, someone who cares Someone who will listen when no one else is there You found the end through the barrel of a smoking gun You thought you had no options, you felt you couldn’t talk to anyone And the friends that loved you won’t ever understand All they could do is miss the fact you’re not around Don’t let the lights go out It’s just the voice in your head leading you out Don’t you let a door go to the way I know it’s so hard to love, it’s so easy to hate A stranger once offered me kindness, you don’t often come by The fruits of my labour bound to the apple of my eye Do what you can, don’t expect nothing back Try to repair the things that are no longer intact Don’t let the lights go out It’s just the voice in your head leading you out Don’t you let a door go to the way I know it’s so hard to love, it’s so easy to hate
