Lullaby Singer

You say baby turn the light out
I can see there's someone crying in your smile now
You used to be the glitter in the dirt
And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

Why didn't anybody tell you that it ain't easy
Life don't imitate reality TV
I can see you tugging on a wishbone
Angling an outcome
Bones will only break their word

But you don't know that it only beats my heart to black and blue all over
When you cry, it burns like paper cuts and iodine

When you were here, I couldn't find the words
To say I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise I'll try and try and
Lullaby, lullaby

Panic is a shotgun
But I don't know if I can get you out of this one
But you can call me up at twenty after midnight
I'll stay on the line to talk you down and tuck you in and I'm
Eyes wide open, brighter than the candles on a cake
You wasted wishes on when you were okay

When you were here, I couldn't find the words
To say I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
Promise I'll try and try and
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

Lala lullaby
Lala lullaby
Lala lullaby
Lala lullaby

Lala lullaby
Lala lullaby

Baby turn the light out
There's something crying in your smile now
You used to be the glitter in the dirt
And now you say it's just you feel a little dusty

But when you were here, I couldn't find the words
To say I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
I promise I'll try and try and
Lullaby, lullaby

When you were here, I couldn't find the words
To say I'll be your lullaby singer
I won't let you down
Promise I'll try
Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby

Baby turn the light out
Baby turn the light out
Baby turn the light out
You say baby turn the light out
