[Verse 1] When the neon goes out I stop knowing what I’m for Leave myself on silent Like a phone face-down on the floor I’m sorry I’m not shining I spent my sparkle getting through Now I’m all soft screen and warning sign Trying not to ask for you [Pre-Chorus] I dim before you notice I disappear politely Like needing less out loud Might make me easier to keep But I don’t want to vanish I just don’t know how to stay When I’m not bright enough for loving And too tired to look brave [Chorus] Love me in low battery When I’m not bright enough to use When my little light is flickering Would you still sit in the blue? Love me when I hide away Face down, quiet, out of view I’m scared I’m only lovable When I’m glowing back at you [Verse 2] My halo needs a charger My smile keeps timing out I left my glitter in the bathroom sink And couldn’t pick it out There’s a blue room in my body Where I go when I get small I curl up with my sorrys And try not to make a call [Pre-Chorus] I know I’m not a burden Then I feel like one again Like every tired silence Is a test I’ll never win I don’t need you to fix me I don’t need a rescue scene I just want to be worth holding When I’m dim and in-between [Chorus] Love me in low battery When I’m not bright enough to use When my little light is flickering Would you still sit in the blue? Love me when I hide away Face down, quiet, out of view I’m scared I’m only lovable When I’m glowing back at you [Bridge] Maybe I am still a person When I’m not a little sun Maybe I am not less precious When I’m no good to anyone Maybe rest is not a failure Maybe quiet is not proof That the room is better without me Or the dark has told the truth So if I leave myself on silent If I tuck my light away Could you find me in the blue room And not ask me to be day? [Final Chorus] Love me in low battery When I’m not bright enough to use When my little light is flickering Would you still sit in the blue? Love me when I hide away Face down, quiet, out of view I’m scared I’m only lovable When I’m glowing back at you Love me in low battery No sparkle left to prove If I can’t be bright tonight Would I still be real to you? [Outro] When the neon goes out I stop knowing what I’m for But maybe I’m still glowing Even face-down on the floor
