Comes To Light (everything) Lyrics


I can't hold it in forever
Eventually I'd have to breathe
Done hid a lot behind the light, behind the wall
Now it's crushin' in on me
How did I let it get this far?
How did I make this wrong turn?
How do I change a thing I've done?
Only one lesson learned
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light
I can't pretend this hurts
Deeper than I imagined
What I did to a friend
I can't take it back in
How could I do a thing like that?

Where was my conscience at?
In pain I really played my part
Now tell me where the healing starts
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light
Make it stop
Make it go away
Make it fade
Make it sail away from me
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light
Comes to the light, comes the light, everything
Comes to the light, comes the light

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
