Turn Off the Lights
When we were kids we used to call this the Mexican heartbreak song
Now it's part of our heartbreak
And now that you're gone I'm gonna turn off the lights
Make sure the door's locked and leave no one inside
These recent activities leave me sleepless at night
Cursing at the heavens cause reality bites
Tears fill my eyes while these words I recite
Almost died a hundred times, how I'm alive
Talking to God, ask him how he decides
I hoped you'd always be there to turn off the lights
I'm trying to find the perfect things, words escaping me
You had my back when everyone else was just hating me
I went from being something to something I never wanted
You understood completely, said brother you got this
Always promised if we should die before we wake
I tell the Wu you love her and the memories we made
It's unbelievable, I can't right no wrongs for ya
So I'm sitting here, trying to write a song for ya
Words blurry, pages breaking under my tears
Losing everyone close, God's exploiting my fears
Tomorrow's not promised, gotta live for today's kids
We were looking at chapters, should've counted the pages
Death without warning is a cruel type affair
We take time for granted, think they'll always be there
And if I fall, will you still be there to catch me?
I know you're gone, but we got another angel
Facts G
But now that you're gone, I'm gonna turn off the lights
Make sure the door's locked and leave no one inside
These recent activities leave me sleepless at night
Cursing at the heavens cause reality bites
Tears fill my eyes while these words I recite
Almost died a hundred times, how I'm alive
Talking to God, ask him how he decides
I hoped you'd always be there to turn off the lights
Now this is a letter I should've wrote a long time ago
I know the clock's ticking, but I still got some time to go
Going through the motions, trying to live out my best life
Wish I had some clue on what happens the next life
So while you got the chance, reach out to your loved ones
Grandpas, friends, moms, pops, and cousins
Take it from me, hardly anyone left
Say what you gotta say, don't live with regret
Saying you love is not weak, it brings life
And maybe you'll have someone to turn off the lights
Now it's part of our heartbreak
And now that you're gone I'm gonna turn off the lights
Make sure the door's locked and leave no one inside
These recent activities leave me sleepless at night
Cursing at the heavens cause reality bites
Tears fill my eyes while these words I recite
Almost died a hundred times, how I'm alive
Talking to God, ask him how he decides
I hoped you'd always be there to turn off the lights
I'm trying to find the perfect things, words escaping me
You had my back when everyone else was just hating me
I went from being something to something I never wanted
You understood completely, said brother you got this
Always promised if we should die before we wake
I tell the Wu you love her and the memories we made
It's unbelievable, I can't right no wrongs for ya
So I'm sitting here, trying to write a song for ya
Words blurry, pages breaking under my tears
Losing everyone close, God's exploiting my fears
Tomorrow's not promised, gotta live for today's kids
We were looking at chapters, should've counted the pages

Saying you love is not weak, it brings life
And maybe you'll have someone to turn off the lights
