  • Nah, you don't know me
    Lightning above and a fire below me
    You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
    You cannot stop, much less control me
    When it rains, it pours
    When the floodgates open, brace your shores
    That pressure don't care when it breaks your doors
    Say it's all you can take, better take some more

    (Oh)
    'Cause I know what it's like to test fate
    Had my shoulders pressed with that weight
    Stood up strong in spite of that hate

    (Oh)
    Night gets darkest right before dawn
    What don't kill you makes you more strong
    And I been waiting for it so long

    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    (Oh, oh, oh)
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    When I was young, they told me, they said
    Make your bed, you lie in that bed
    A king can only reign 'til instead
    There comes that day it's "off with his head"

    (Oh)
    Night gets darkest right before dawn
    What don't kill you makes you more strong
    You'll have my mercy then when you're gone

    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    (Oh, oh, oh)
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    And I told them,
    Nah, you don't know me
    Lightning above and a fire below me
    You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
    You cannot stop, much less control me
    When it rains, it pours
    When the floodgates open, brace your shores
    That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors
    Say it's all you can take, better take some more

    (Oh, oh, oh)
    Waiting for a light that never comes

    The nights go on
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    I chase the sun
    Waiting for a light that never comes
    (Oh, oh, oh)
