I could run
I could cry, I could plead
I could say, "It's never gonna get any better", and leave

I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself, "I'm strong enough to give all the love that I need"

But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home

When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard
I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side

And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight

Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(You'll be my nightlight)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You'll be my nightlight

(You'll be my nightlight)

I could count
Every time that I've fallen
Even when I'm in so deep, it gets hard to see
You're still all in

I've been lost
By myself, in the darkness
Know that I can find my way even on the days when it's hardest

But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right

Love me when it's hard
I promise that I'm not
Leaving from your side

And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight

Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight
Ooh-ooh-ooh
You'll be my nightlight

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(You'll be my nightlight)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You'll be my nightlight

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(You'll be my nightlight)

(You'll be my nightlight)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(You'll be my nightlight)
