At Our Expense - Lighthouse Lyrics

At Our Expense – Lighthouse Lyrics

I don’t have a perfect smile, but I’ve been blessed with a heart of gold
Father said to always swing, to never be afraid,
And so, I always swing.
When I was younger I lost myself in the soul of this sunken ship
Now that I’ve mourned the loss I can resurface it.

You’ve been under for far too long, resurfacing this sunken ship
Leave the anchors and carry on
There’s a lighthouse that’s above all this.

CHORUS
The lighthouse – it guides me. Shines the way home.
It drowns out the failure that I’ve always known
After the lonely nights I have spent
My self respect is all that I have left.
The pressure is building, it’s breaking my back
But my pride outweighs all the faith that I lack
After the lonely nights I have spent
My self respect is all that I have left.
Is all that I have left.

Tear down everything that left you in defeat
How can you stand your ground when you’re living on your knees
Show some backbone, it’s carried you this far
Those with desperate measures show the depth of their heart.

What’s the depth of your heart?

When I was younger I lost myself in the soul of this sunken ship
Now that I’ve mourned the loss I can resurface it.
You’ve reached the surface. Set out to the –

CHORUS
The lighthouse – it guides me. Shines the way home.
It drowns out the failure that I’ve always known
After the lonely nights I have spent
My self respect is all that I have left.
The pressure is building, it’s breaking my back
But my pride outweighs all the faith that I lack
After the lonely nights I have spent
My self respect is all that I have left.
Is all that I have left.

(All that I have left)
