Last night I laid awake in bed
Can't shake the lies up in my head
I was scrolling
Instead of sleepin'
A thousand faces in my hand
How could I measure up to them
And in that moment
I was weepin'
I don't know if I've ever felt more alone
(If we had the chance to be real would we take it, take it)
I don't know if I've ever felt really known
(If we all keep faking we're not gonna make it, make it)
This is a song to remind me
We've all got some broken we're hiding
None of us are ok
We all fall, we all break
This is a song to remind me
To let the light in
To let the light in
I need you to look me in eye
Tell me that you're not always fine
Cuz on the surface
It's picture perfect
I know it's just a highlight reel
But I can't help the way I feel
That I'm too much
And I'm not enough
Heaven knows we were never meant to be alone
(If we had the chance to be real would we take it, take it)
Broken hearts are a beautiful kaleidoscope
(If we all keep faking we're not gonna make it, make it)
This is a song to remind me
We've all got some broken we're hiding
None of us are ok
We all fall, we all break
This is a song to remind me
To let the light in
To let the light in
All together, all alone
Feeling homesick in our homes
You take a step, I'll take one too
I'll reach for You
This is a song to remind me
We've all got some broken we're hiding
None of us are ok
We all fall, we all break
This is a song to remind me
This is a song to remind me
We've all got some broken we're hiding
None of us are ok
We all fall, we all break
This is a song to remind me
To let the light in
To let the light in
To let the light in
