You were born when you were cursed
And watched it go from bad to worse
You could cry and you could grieve
But sometimes it's just best to leave

So you got gone and you got found
But lately he don't come around
Now you're broke, now you're tired
And it keeps blowing out your fires

But I'll be

I'll be your pilot light
I'll burn for you through the night
Every night now

 

And when you run back to your town
Everything's been broken down
And all the kids you used to need
Got mortgages and mouths to feed
But you're not one for keeping score
Just everything but nothing more
And now you're adding up the cost

Of nothing gained for nothing lost

 

There was a time when we were sure
That Sunday came the night before
And we could hold a bleeding heart
Building bridges in the dark
But here it seems like saving grace

Is really more just saving face

And to this day we won't submit

To thanking god for things we did, now
We did

Cuz I'll be 

 

I'll be your pilot light
And I'll burn for you through the night

And you won't have to ask

You won't have to fight
Cuz I'll be your pilot light

Every night now, now, now
