I could run

I could cry, I could bleed

I could say it's never gonna get any better and 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

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 outside

And when I fall apart, promise in the dark

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight

You'll be my nightlight

I could count

Every time that I'm falling (falling)

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

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 outside

And when I fall apart, promise in the dark

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight, ooh

You'll be my nightlight

You'll be my nightlight, ooh
