Lullaby
Nick Helm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain′t no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that, it′s never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
And you′re not sure you can take this anymore
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I′m reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can′t tell, I'm scared as hell
′Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
′Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you′re not done
You′re far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you′re not alone
And if you can't tell, I′m scared as hell
'Cause I can′t get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody′s tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody′s been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on...
Just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I′m reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can′t tell, I'm scared as hell
′Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Well, I know the feeling
I understand what it's like to be in your position
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
Feeling like you have no where to turn
And there ain′t no healing
Nothing seems to make things better
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
Trying to find solutions in unhealthy ways
I'm telling you that, it′s never that bad
Things are never as bad as they seem
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
I've been in your shoes before
Laid out on the floor
Feeling defeated
And you′re not sure you can take this anymore
Feeling like you can't handle the situation
So just give it one more try to a lullaby
Give yourself one more chance to find peace
And turn this up on the radio
Listen to this song and let it help you
If you can hear me now
I hope you can hear my words of encouragement
I′m reaching out
I'm trying to help you through this
To let you know that you're not alone
You're not the only one going through this
And if you can′t tell, I'm scared as hell
I'm worried about you
′Cause I can't get you on the telephone
I can't reach you, and that's scary
So just close your eyes
Take a moment to yourself
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Let this song be your comfort
Your very own lullaby
This song is just for you
Please let me take you
Let me help you through this
Out of the darkness and into the light
Out of this difficult time and towards a brighter future
′Cause I have faith in you
I believe you're strong enough to get through this
That you're gonna make it through another night
You'll survive this tough time
Stop thinking about the easy way out
Don't give up on yourself
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
There's no need to give up
Because you′re not done
You still have so much potential
You′re far too young
You have your entire life ahead of you
And the best is yet to come
There are good things to come in the future
Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everyone experiences tough times
Everybody's been forgotten
It can be easy to feel overlooked
When everybody′s tired of being alone
When it seems like everyone is going through tough times
Yeah, everybody′s been abandoned
Feeling like no one is there for you
And left a little empty handed
Feeling like you have nothing left
So if you're out there barely hanging on...
If you're struggling to make it through
