Lightning hit the house that I thought was safe
Now I'm buried deep in my mind, no escape
It's uncomfortable to take another turn
But I'm better off now

Even the stars need the dark
Need the dark to shine

I don't need you to tell me it'll be okay
I'm no stranger to the pain
I don't mind rollin' in the mud while it rains
If it helps me to grow

Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
Bring on the pain
Yeah, I'll be okay
'Cause even the stars need the dark
Need the dark to shine

My eyes are blurry, the tide is coming in
I guess I'll find out now if I can swim
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in my skin
Stranger still I'm not

Even the stars need the dark
Need the dark to shine

I don't need you to tell me it'll be okay
I'm no stranger to the pain
I don't mind rollin' in the mud while it rains
If it helps me to grow

Bring on the dark, bring on the hate
Bring on the pain
Yeah, I'll be okay
'Cause even the stars need the dark
Need the dark to shine

Even the stars need the dark
Need the dark to shine
