You Were Made for the Light Lyrics

I could never know the pain and cold that's tearing you apart

But I need you to know you're not alone, just open up your heart

And, oh, I feel such a weight on your soul that I could never hold

And I can't heal but I can walk along and help you bear the load

We got family gathered around, asking how bad for how long, and what led here

Yeah, sometimes I handle it wrong, just see my side of the phone, while you dodge mirrors, ay

I don't know if I'll hear from you at all today

When it gets too hard, you tend to hide away

But don't stay in darkness

You were made for the light, mm yeah

You were made for the light, oh, oh

We're broken, hoping, looking for a change

You weren't meant for shame, you were made for the light

For the light

There's vomit in the shower, we would talk for hours to keep you sane

You're captive in your tower, I pray higher powers will keep you safe

Markings on your skin

Hope and body paper-thin

Things can be good again

With teary eyes, I raise your chin, yeah

And who told you to start keeping score and said you're not valuable

Yeah, who said you weren't enough on your own

Baby, you're beautiful

You were made for the light

For the light

You were made for the light

For the light

We're broken, hoping, looking for a change

You weren't meant for shame, you were made for the light

For the light

There's gon' be a day, looking back on all our pain like, we done came far

So we can celebrate with our wrists to the planes, showing off our scars

Like, oh, God, we done came far, so far

Oh, God, we done came far

Like, oh, God, we done came far, so far

Oh, God, we done came far

You were made for the light

For the light

(For light, for light, for light)

You were made for the light

For the light

Yeah, yeah, we're broken, hoping, looking for a change

You weren't meant for shame, you were made for the light

For the light

You were made for the light
