[Verse 1]
Used to sleep beside the bottle
Counting scars instead of sheep
Talking brave about tomorrow
While I sank down in the deep
Every promise felt like plastic
Every sunrise hurt my eyes
I was flirting with the exit
Writing quiet goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you walked into my ruins
Did you know how bad it was?
You just took my shaking fingers
Like you’d already decided on us
[Chorus]
You pulled me back into the light
When I was begging to disappear
You held my ghosts in both your hands
Said
“Baby
Leave them here”
I was one step from the edge
You turned that cliff into a home
Now every day I wake up
And I don’t feel alone
You took my darkest days
And made them bright
You brought me back
Back into the light (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You learned every awful story
Didn’t turn your eyes away
Sat through every heavy silence
Waited out my storms and stayed
You laughed with me in the kitchen
Till the bad thoughts lost their teeth
Put my old pills in the trash can
Kissed the shame right off of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now your name lives on my good days
On the fridge and in my phone
On the ring around my finger
On the place I call my own
[Chorus]
You pulled me back into the light
When I was begging to disappear
You held my ghosts in both your hands
Said
“Baby
Leave them here”
I was one step from the edge
You turned that cliff into a home
Now every day I wake up
And I don’t feel alone
You took my darkest days
And made them bright
You brought me back
Back into the light
[Bridge]
If I ever start to stumble
If the shadows start to grow
I’ll remember how you found me
How you never let me go
You’re the reason that I’m breathing
That I get a second try
So I’ll spend this whole life loving you
For the night you changed my life (hey)
[Chorus]
You pulled me back into the light
When I was begging to disappear
You held my ghosts in both your hands
Said
“Baby
Leave them here”
I was one step from the edge
You turned that cliff into a home
Now every day I wake up
And I don’t feel alone
You took my darkest days
And made them bright
You brought me back
Back into the light
Yeah
You brought me back
Back into the light
