Lightning hit the house that I thought was safe
Now I’m buried deep in my mind, no escape
It’s uncomfortable to take another turn
But I’m better off now

Even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
I don’t need you to tell me it’ll be okay, I’m no stranger to the pain
I don’t mind rollin’ in the mud while it rains if it helps me to grow
Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
Bring on the pain
Yeah, I’ll be okay
‘Cause even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine

My eyes are blurry, the tide is coming in
I guess I’ll find out now if I can swim, sometimes I feel like a stranger in my skin
Strangers, still I’m not

Even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
I don’t need you to tell me it’ll be okay, I’m no stranger to the pain
I don’t mind rollin’ in the mud while it rains if it helps me to grow
Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
Bring on the pain
Yeah, I’ll be okay
Even the stars need the dark (need the dark) to shine
