stranded in a city
that doesn’t hold me down
silencing my feelings
streetlights blinking red again

when the crashing noise of speeding cars
floods my lonely heart
and the heavy rain flooding from my eyes
streetlights blinking red again

it’s a message from the spirits whispering in the wind
please slow down your crying
keep the paper lantern lit

keep it lit ooh
keep it lit oooh

the golden veil
the drops of dew
the tiny leaf
inside of you
it’s ok
you are so strong
the broken pieces
still belong
still belong

oh i lost my way when you lost my love
oh i lost my way when you stole my heart

late at night i wander
on the streets alone
the air so still
not a soul to be shown
that’s when i come alive
and feel like i’m at home
when i’m the only one
my shadow is unknown

oh i lost my way when you lost my love
oh i lost my way when you stole my heart

oh i lost my way when you lost my love
oh i lost my way when you stole my heart

all alone
don’t call me lonely
i’m strong on my own
don’t call me pretty
all alone
i found my way back
all alone
i learned to love me
