You say your time has come
You're tire of waking up
Don't be obscene,
I can't conceive of
Living without you
You say you drag me down
No one should want you now
I start to cry,
You kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
That single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes
You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you
I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply,
Your parents tried
But they didn't know how to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
That single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light
Loneliest light
Loneliest light
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
A single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes
You're tire of waking up
Don't be obscene,
I can't conceive of
Living without you
You say you drag me down
No one should want you now
I start to cry,
You kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
That single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes
You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you
I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply,
Your parents tried
But they didn't know how to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
That single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light
Loneliest light
Loneliest light
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat or see its lights
A single solitary guide
It must get lonely there sometimes

seems like if someone was "tired of waking up" they don't want to be alive anymore.
it's a complex thing dealing with the suicide of someone you love because no matter how hard you try to make them feel wanted (You were a child forgot lessons of love untaught. Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you) if they don't love themselves then there's nothing you can do and have no choice but to let it happen. this song is amazing. i love it.
I can also see this song meaning that he did not know how to be in a relationship because he just wasn't ready or knew how to, how to treat her right and love her right. She says "You say you drag me down
No one should want you now I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say I'm not allowed to" He is leaving her and tells her he doesnt deserve her and that shes better off. And at some points its almost like shes frustrated at the fact that he left because she wasnt ready she didnt get closure.
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you
is my fav part. it's such a sad song.
"I always wanted to create music that anybody could relate to. I don’t make references to “him” or “her” in my songs on purpose. I wanted guys to listen and be able to think about another guy, girls to think about girls, girls to think about guys. I mean, no matter who you are, we’re all just trying to connect, aren’t we?" - Alison Suhol
