Melanie Martinez - Lights Lyrics






I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

Noises I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unknown place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

    Its nice to revisit this kind of song by shuffling the liked video playlist.

  31. H.... �....

    every Melanie's cover is perfect but this one should be like the original

  32. E.... ....

    I love her voice but not her songs :/ She has an amazing voice but her music is just not my taste.

  33. M.... G....

    I bet she had 1,000000,000000,000000,000 dollers for all of her songs but that one THATS MY NEW FAVORITE SONG

  34. D.... M....

    She says it clearer than the real song. I thought it was "tattoos shone" but it was "turn to stone" I'm so stupid 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

    Lyrics to sing along:
    I had a way then losing it all on my own
    I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
    And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
    And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me

    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone

    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone home

    Voices I play within my head
    Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
    And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
    In an unknown place the only time I feel safe

    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone

    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone home

    Yeah, hee

    Light, lights, lights, lights
    Light, lights, lights, lights
    (Home, home)
    Light, lights, lights, lights
    Light, lights

    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone

    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine it when I'm alone home

    Home, home
    Light, lights, lights, lights
    Light, lights, lights, lights

    Home, home
    Light, lights, lights, lights
    Light, lights, lights, lights

    Home, home
    Light, lights, lights, lights
    Light, lights, lights, lights

    I had a way then
    Losing it all on my own
    I had a heart then
    But the queen has been overthrown
    And I'm not sleeping now
    The dark is too hard to beat
    And I'm not keeping up
    The strength I need to push me

    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine them when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone
    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

    Noises, I play within my head
    Touch my own skin
    And hope that i'm still breathing
    And I think back to when
    My brother and my sister slept
    In an unlocked place
    The only time I feel safe

    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
    You shine them when I'm alone
    And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone
    'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
    Calling, calling, calling home
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

  74. j.... s....

    Kill me now i love this <3 I cant right nowwwww

  75. T.... ....

    why do I think she did this song better live?

  76. T.... G....

    0:00 to 02:46 is the best part.

  77. A.... V....

    No offence, Melanie, but this sounds nothing like the ACTUAL version.


    Don't judge me,

    I'm a Melanie fan too XD <3

    A.... V....

    Melanie most of the time like a lot of other singers likes to put their own twist on songs they cover ,Melanie is pretty good at it

    A.... V....

    Sorry, is everyone supposed to sound the same???

    A.... V....

    Oh. I didn't know that. But you are kinda being mean about it.

  78. E.... A....

    I love Melanie <3

  79. s.... X....

    I'm a huge gouldigger and a cry baby and this makes me happy

  80. S.... K....

    i think It's better than the ellie goulding version (much better)

  81. K.... ....

    i thought this was imogen heap for the first 20 seconds

    K.... ....

    KaylaTheRaccoon good because I love both of them and they are incredibly talented.

  82. L.... R....

    1:29 can slay me?!?!!?!!?!?

  83. L.... E....

    What a lil cutie. she's amazing :)

  84. R.... N....

    I feel like am going crazy this is so good awwwww am having an eargasm it's like my skin is going to jump off me

  85. R.... W....

    Wow, this is undeniably gorgeous. I love her voice, not quite the same as Ellie's, and I think I still love the original version better, but I love the new spin she gave to the song, made it a bit darker and a bit more mournful. Gorgeous, Melanie.

    R.... W....

    Ikr! The studio version with just Melanie sounds better than the performance with Caitlyn. That performance in my opinion was horrible.

    R.... W....

    Caitlyn is way worse than Melanie. that's why.

  86. K.... ....

    I love this so much, this is so amazing!

    K.... ....

    CAS IS YOUR PIC AND IM LITERALLY WATCHING SPN WHILE WEARING A TRENCH COAT LOL

    K.... ....

  87. I.... b....

    Why do I tear up, begin to get tingles all over my body and feel like my eyes want to roll back in my head as I close my eyes to savor it more everytime I hear this?

    Because, my dear friends, I just had an eargasm and I've never been happier.

  88. d.... ....

    This is amazing.

  89. A.... S....

    She is such a soubrette
