Fireflies [Explicit]

As I stare across the sky

I see nothing

But a million fireflies

Reminding me that

I can make my light shine

It's not over, over, over

I started writing songs

For a path to express my pain

Naturally born to perform

I was put here to entertain

Standing on these stages

Singing songs from a tender age

Guess that's all I knew

Apart from waiting and playing games

Used to have a girl

But all she did just stress my brain

Had to let it go

I was looking forward to better days

Better days

‘Cause when you're stuck in this cycle

I swear you never know

You keep on going round and round

Until you let it go

I used to wish for things

I thought I'd never gain

The only thing I wish for now

It's stay the same

Try to make it work

In each and every way

But it's a shame

When things fade

And people change

As I stare across the sky

I see nothing

But a million fireflies

Reminding me that

I can make my light shine

It's not over, over, over

Look, it was all good just a year ago

Now I don't recognize myself

In the mirror though

I'm used to seeing

Three silhouettes in the video

But now it's me, myself and I

kill it through

A moment from overdosing

I swear I'm just barely coping

I chill with my brother Lewis

I feel like I'm Leona

Come on

Keeps bleeding

Keeps, keeps bleeding

Only get one light

Then the fireflies are leaving

So hello world

Can you people hear me calling?

I always put my all in

Working from night till morning

I'm about to take over

Here's the motherf*cking

Warning right (you heard)

I's the motherf*cking

warning right

As I stare across the sky

I see nothing

But a million fireflies

Reminding me that

I can make my light shine

It's not over, over, over

Yeah I can see the fireflies

I see fireflies

I see fireflies

I swear I'm like a firefly

I require darkness

In order to shine

I take cold days out of this world

And make them warm nights

By lightning the sky

My dad told me

Everything changes in time

I know he was right

It's the way of this life

That's why I try and stay away

From losing my cool

‘Cause I swear my biggest fear

Is losing all

As I stare across the sky

I see nothing

But a million fireflies

Reminding me that

I can make my light shine

It's not over, over, over

Cause I can see the fireflies

I see them

I see them

I see them

I see them
