Lyrics of The Lighthouse by Halsey
verse
From a tender age, I was cursed with rage
Came swinging like a fist inside a batting cage
I went swimming with the devil at the bottom of a lake
And he left me there by my lonesome
He was tall and mean with venom eyes so big
Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth
I couldn't find the floor, so I was kicking with my feet
But there weren't there, they were stolen
chorus
There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end
And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I will lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me, but they're make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
verse
I met a sailor on the ship with promise in his eyes
He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs
But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies
So I left him there 'til the sunrise
Well, the waves were tall, and they were crashing down
He's laying in the water, begging God to let him down
So I showed him all my teeth, and then I laughed out loud
'Cause I never wanted saving, I just wanted to be found
chorus
There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end
And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I will lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me, but they're make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
bridge
Well, that should teach a man to mess with me
He was never seen again, and I'm still wandering the beach
And I'm glad I met the devil 'cause he showed me I was weak
And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me
chorus
There is a lighthouse in the middle of the deep end
And I'm still stranded on the shoreline there
And nobody hears me scream
And I will lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me with that make-believe
The lighthouse by the sea
outro
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down (and the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (and the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (and the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (and the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (and the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down
