WHERE THE LIGHT GOES

*[Verse 1]* I never thought I'd leave this place, Or see the world behind the haze. I heard your voice in empty rooms, Like something I was born to lose. And every answer led to more, Another key, another door. I spent so long chasing the truth, I never stopped to think of you. *[Pre-Chorus]* And if the things they told me Were never what they seemed, How do I know who I am When nothing's what it means? *[Chorus]* Tell me where the light goes When the stars burn out. When the ones you trusted Are the ones you doubt. I've been trying to find my way Through the things I can't undo. If I lose it all tonight, At least I won't lose you. Tell me where the light goes. Tell me what is true. *[Verse 2]* They put a crown before my eyes, Said I could change the world with time. But I saw what it had done to you, And all the things that power can do. I thought my father disappeared, Now I know why he wasn't here. Somewhere between the truth and blame, I learnt we're more than where we came from. *[Pre-Chorus]* And if I have to choose now, There's only one way through. I'd rather face the darkness Than become a part of you. *[Chorus]* Tell me where the light goes When the stars burn out. When the ones you trusted Are the ones you doubt. I've been trying to find my way Through the things I can't undo. If I lose it all tonight, At least I won't lose you. Tell me where the light goes. Tell me what is true. *[Bridge — stripped-back piano and vocals]* I don't need a throne, I don't need a name. I don't need the whole world To remember me someday. If I can walk away And still know who I am, Maybe that's the kind of strength No crown could ever understand. *[Final Chorus — full band and backing vocals]* Tell me where the light goes When the stars come out. When you've faced your fears And there's nothing left to doubt. I've been trying to find my way, Now I know what I must do. I can leave the crown behind And still find my way to you. Even when the night falls, Even when we're through, I'll remember who I was Before I ever knew the truth. *[Outro — soft piano]* Somewhere past the moonlight, There's a world we haven't seen. And somewhere in the darkness, There's another world between. I thought the end was waiting… But it's only the beginning.
