Turned Out The Lights (feat. Maddi Jane)

Where are you now

Why did you go

Give me a reason for leaving

A reason your heart turned to stone

Now it's so cold

You saw me standing with tears in my eyes

And then you turned out the lights

Dear matt

I know we've never really met each other

But you've helped me out so much

I felt I had to write this letter

You might not know it when your making your beats

But every lyric and syllable's like you're speaking to me

Cause where I'm from they don't encourage a kid with a dream

And every time I have an idea that I believe in

It gets stomped or squashed and then I feel lost

Like it wanna go dig a hole feeling so low

Don't get me wrong, I believe but get real matt

Sometimes it's difficult to achieve when people don't believe back

I'm not complaining but it's hard to go after my goals

Cause the people I need most just leave they're cold

My teacher told me that I'll never amount to anything

But I wrote a chorus for you to sing

I know it's probably not good enough

Not even close

But it's how I feel most so it goes

Where are you now

Why did you go

Give me a reason for leaving

A reason your heart turned to stone

Now it's so cold

You saw me standing with tears in my eyes

And then you turned out the lights

Lights you turned out the lights

Lights why'd you turn out the lights

Everyday brings a new struggle

In every situation is a moment where a choice can bring new trouble

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna bust like a bubble

Here's what I've been through, now let me inspire you

I hope you never have to feel what it's like, to feel lost

The cost of not a friend in site

Despite your best efforts you can't fight back

When you love someone but they don't love you back matt

Remember us in your lyrics when you write that

The kids that don't have it all within an arms grasp

Can we dream too? Or is it fantasy?

I need to place where I fit in, in the family

So I'mma choose to believe despite all of these words that sting

All of the hurtful things

With these few words I sing

Just keep it real on the mic b

And you've got a fan for life

Where are you now

Why did you go

Give me a reason for leaving

A reason your heart turned to stone

Now it's so cold

You saw me standing with tears in my eyes

And then you turned out the lights

Lights you turned out the lights

Lights why'd you turn out the lights

We at the point of no return

There ain't no coming back

When it comes to love you never know how to react

Gotta keep your head up

Can't live in the past

I know you feel bad but it goes in a flash

We at the point of no return

There ain't no coming back

When it comes to love you never know how to react

Gotta keep your head up

Can't live in the past

I know you feel bad but it goes in a flash

Where are you now

Why did you go

Give me a reason for leaving

A reason your heart turned to stone

Now it's so cold

You saw me standing with tears in my eyes

And then you turned out the lights

Lights you turned out the lights

Lights why'd you turn out the lights
