[Verse 1]
I could run, I could cry, I could plead
I could say it's never gonna get any better, then leave
I could throw my hands up, I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I'm strong enough
To give all the love that I need

[Chorus]
But I still need you to ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard, I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart, promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight

[Pre-Drop]
Ooh, you'll be my nightlight
Ooh, you'll be my nightlight
(You'll be my nightlight)
You'll be my nightlight

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I could count every time that I've fallen (Fallen)
Even when I'm in so deep it gets hard to see, you're still all in
I've been lost by myself in the darkness
Know that I can find my way even on the days when it's hardest
[Chorus]
But I still need you to ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard, I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart, promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight

[Pre-Drop]
Ooh, you'll be my nightlight
Ooh, you'll be my nightlight
You'll be my nightlight

[Drop]

[Outro]
Love me when it's hard, I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart, promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh, Ooh
