spotlight (new regrets)

every word's a new regret if you say it right

right?

every wound can be forgotten in the right light

oh nostalgia

i don't need you anymore

'cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door

they might try to tell you how you can live your life

but don't

don't forget it's your right

to do whatever you like

you like

'cause you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be the star

you can shine so bright

you could be your own--

'cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break

to take away that light from somebody

somebody now

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

depression is a little like happy hour

right?

so

it's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night

oh nostalgia

i don't need you anymore

i just hope

my perfect stranger

that my kids look more like yours

'cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life

but don't

don't forget it's your right

to do whatever you like

you like

'cause you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be the star

you can shine so bright

you could be your own--

'cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break

to take away that light from somebody

somebody now

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own--

'cause i had

a little bit of bad luck

no wonder this crumbling world's stuck

a little sweetness keeps just out of reach

'cause compassion is something that they just don't

just don't teach

teach

'cause you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight

you could be the star

you can shine so bright

you could be your own--

'cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break

to take away that light from somebody

somebody now

you could be your own spotlight

you could be your own spotlight
