lyrics

My eyes are well-adjusted
But my soul is getting tired
As another hour passes in a never-ending night
Yeah everything was fine
Beneath a pink and orange sky
But my heart sank with the sun
And all I'm left with is
A shiver and a sigh
The only comfort that remains
Is knowing
No matter what I could've done
The scene would still play out the same way

My shadow grows until it covers everything
Just like the
Soul-crushing sadness that comes over me
Oh
And I think to myself
What a horrible night to have a curse

'Cause all I want is just to see the sun
But the darkness better suits the things I've done
And on a lonely night I might be at my worst
But sometimes we don't get what we deserve

I thought I was alone
And forced to wander in my doubt
But a familiar figure pushes past
The melancholy clouds
As I look on from below
It's like he wants for me to know
That all the sorrow that he's faced
Could never dim his glow
'Cause he reflects the hope he has
That he has seen from far away
So that the rest of us can know
That we will see another day
So though the night has hidden all the things
I built my life around before
I'm confident in what I cannot see
And that it's still worth fighting for
(That it's still worth fighting for)
Yeah that it's still worth fighting for

'Cause I was due for a change of perspective
My self-pity might have killed me if I would have let it
And there's still no sign of sunlight anytime soon
But I find solace in the glowing of the moon

The truth does not depend
On what I can or cannot see
And God knows I could always use a little more sleep
Maybe the things that hurt the most
can show me where I need to be
And sometimes things are better than they seem

'Cause all I want is just to see the sun
(Just to see the sun)
But the darkness better suits the things I've done
(I really messed up this time)
And on a lonely night, I might be at my worst
(I'm so alone)
But sometimes we don't get what we deserve
Yeah sometimes we don't get what we deserve
