Lights Out
Ryan Nealon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel alone
It's the same thing over and over
I'm sick of waiting to let it go
I'm gonna
Go out with my friends on a Tuesday
Maybe, tell you how I feel on a new day
Lately, I've been feeling less like I need you
I've been feeling more like I need to
Get over you
Ohh ohh
I'm not afraid to let you know
I'm not afraid to let you go
Ohh ohh
Won't let you love me now
Even with the lights out
Ohh ohh
Won't let you love me now
Even with the lights out
Wonder if you think I'm selfish
When I tell you no
I'm not sorry for choosing myself over
You and what we could've been
I know you are
Never gonna change how you love me, I don't
Need another reason to get lonely, lately
I've been feeling less like I need you
To tell the truth
I've been feeling more like I'm gonna
Get over you
Ohh ohh
I'm not afraid to let you know
I'm not afraid to let you go
Ohh ohh
Won't let you love me now
Even with the lights out
Ohh ohh
Won't let you love me now
Even with the lights out
Ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
Show up to my house on a Sunday
Said that we would be together one day
Well I'm not gonna wait for that someday
I don't need the closure
Know I'm sorry but I'm over you
Ohh ohh
I'm not afraid to let you know
I'm not afraid to let you go
Ohh ohh
Won't let you love me now
Even with the lights out
Ohh ohh
Not gonna love you now
Don't even need you now
Won't let you come around
Even with the lights out
Not gonna love you now
Don't even need you now
Won't let you come around
Even with the lights out

I don't need the closure
I don't require closure from you
Know I'm sorry but I'm over you
I'm sorry, but I have moved on from you
