No Light No Light
Florence %2B The Machine Lyrics

You are the hole in my head, you are the space in my bed
You fill my mind and my heart to the point where it feels empty without you.

You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said
You make me pause and reconsider my words and actions before I express them.

You are the night time fear, you are the morning when it's clear
You bring both anxiety and clarity to my life, making me excited for a new day.

When it's over you're the start, you're my head, you're my heart
Even when things end, you remain the beginning and center of my thoughts and emotions.

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
Your blue eyes, which used to shine with light, now seem dull and empty.

I never knew daylight could be so violent
The realization that things can be so cruel and harsh, even in the light of day, is a shock.

A revelation in the light of day
The truth about the harshness of reality becomes clearer during the day.

You can't choose what stays and what fades away
We have no control over what things in life remain and what inevitably disappear.

And I'd do anything to make you stay
I would do absolutely anything in my power to make you stay in my life.

Through the crowds I was crying out
Despite being surrounded by people, I felt unseen and unheard.

And in your place there were a thousand other faces
Without you, the world seems overwhelming and full of strangers.

I was disappearing in plain sight
Despite being physically present, I felt invisible and overlooked.

Heaven help me, I need to make it right
I need divine intervention to fix the problems in my life.

You want a revelation, you wanna get it right
You desire to understand and reconcile with the truth.

But, it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight
However, I am not emotionally capable of having that conversation at this moment.

Tell me what you want me to say
Please communicate your desires and intentions to me so that I can respond accordingly.

Would you leave me if I told you what I've done?
I am afraid that if I express my past mistakes to you, you will no longer want to be with me.

And would you leave me if I told you what I've become?
I am also afraid that if I share my current self with you, you will reject me.

'Cause it's so easy to sing it to a crowd
It is much easier to share my inner struggles with a large group of people than with just one individual, like you.

But it's so hard, my love, to say it to you, all alone
However, confessing everything to you, one-on-one, is much more difficult because of the intimacy and vulnerability involved.
