In playgrounds and city parks We played around 'til it went dark In every breath another spark was dying At bus stops we stood in lines Like full stops at the end of time Our teardrops don't ever dry for crying
La la la la la la la Light up my life All of my days, all my nights Light up my lonely life Light up my lonely life
I knew I'd never leave the street I love the taste of self-defeat You never win and you can't beat what's broken If you don't play then you can't lose You either pray or have to choose The words to say or leave the words unspoken
La la la la la la la Light up my life All of my days, all my nights Light up my lonely life Light up my lonely life
In sight again and suffering All your dreams have ended
La la la la la la la Light up my life All of my days, all my nights Light up my lonely life Light up my lonely life light up my lonely life
