Have You Ever Slept with the Lights on?

from The Fine Print by Amanda Rose Riley

/

lyrics

I've always wished I could ask you
If you were ever afraid
And how old were you when the fear finally went away
It's been my steadiest friend
And though I try to defeat it every day
It's so hard for me to fall asleep
So afraid of what could go wrong tomorrow

Have you ever slept with the lights on?
Do you get scared when you're all alone
Do you ever worry that something's wrong
And your safety net's gonna break soon
Have you ever slept with the lights on, lights on, lights on?

But I get up every morning
And I force myself to follow a dream
My stomach never settles and my heart struggles to break free
But with every word from my mouth
And with every face I meet
I know these nerves are just excitement
A sign that shows just how much this all really means to me

Someday I'll do my best to help
The next generation like you help me
And maybe I'll never get my answer till one day
My most promising protege asks me the same thing
