LIGHTS "Face Up" Lyrics

[RedemptionWolf]

I sang this once to my friend who was suicidal because he felt completely hopeless and I thought that I may not see him again if I did nothing. He comes up to me and sings it to me everyt ime I am having a bad day now.

[autumnbluez]

i always listen to this song to give me hope <3

[Applemanarizona]

10 people fail at life

[kingandlionheart]

"Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone. Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own." PREACHHHH!

[verairene27]

Lights is a VIP. Very Inspiring Person. I love her songs and they inspire me to not lose hope and just enjoy life even if there are a lot of hardships. <333

[QueenDefina]

This song is so good and so are the lyrics. Love you Lights<3

[dirtytoenail45]

"hotfoxygirl100"s comment is on the 8th page, you're welcome.

[ilovehim176]

Honestly, I love Lights but I don't want her to get too famous, then she won't be like my special artist that I feel like isn't over-listened-to

[blushkat]

This song helped me so much when I was going through a rough time.. The lyrics were perfect.

[ThePuRpLeZeBrA98]

I love this song, &'nd LIGHTS !! This song has helped so many of my friends. Without this song I wouldn't have my BESTFRIEND Erin:)

[hailey123456781]

this song and lights have both gave me alot of positivity

[sararide17]

This song gives me more than just a few minutes of good music. It gives me hope.

[millyopop]

my best friend sent me this song cause im going through shit right now, and this song is just awesome and relates so much to me. I love itt <3

[melissa104able]

@millyopop totally feel u ;/ 

[1994iluvbruno]

My friend is thinking about suicide. What can I do?

[AmandaIsABamf14]

@1994iluvbruno tell him/her that you love them, don't leave their side in their time of need, tell them it might be done and over with for them, but for you,their family, their friends. the pain will never stop. Good luck, love!

[1994iluvbruno]

@AmandaIsABamf14 Thank you. :)

[melissa104able]

@1994iluvbruno tell him or her why give up a life that god gave too?

[SilentSteps100]

I luv her songs<3

[shellyvball77]

This is my calming down song at night when i go to bed, makes me peaceful and it makes me tired lol :)

[shellyvball77]

This is my song at night when im winding down from school xD so peaceful

[UnforgettableAlice]

i shared this song with my friend because she wanted to kill herself and now she does not anymore.

[campize23]

I hate how someone like lights isn't as famous as Justin Bieber. She sings and makes people change the way they view life, he sings about girls and stuff that every other male singer talks about. I just hope one day she get even bigger than she is now because she deserves it!

[19hollister22]

@campize23 yeah, but when a musician gets to that level of fame, they have to change who they are to satisfy the demand(which is why every radio played musician sings about the same stuff that the other radio played musicians sing). I think that more people should know about Lights but she will never get to that level because that's when people do it for the money and not for the passion and love of music

[hamstertiff99]

@campize23 I know right!!! But I guess if LIGHTS might not be comfortable if paparazzi recorded every step she made.

[verairene27]

Relate much...

[TheAdorableRose]

I have very few friends, and none of them seem to know what I feel. When I hear this song, I look up at the sky and think, "Someone is looking up at the same sky." "I'll find that person someday, and who knows, we could be friends." Thanks, LIGHTS <3

[Guuuy007]

I think every ones looking at that sky. There's only one sky buddy, so calm down. Be happy frick. Real stupid XP this is Youtube, not your diary.

[TheAdorableRose]

@Guuuy007 Did I ever ask you?!

[tashanorrris]

Probably saved my life. I love you Lights ♥

[Anarnee]

Its been a long time since a song made me cry on the first listen through.

Thank you so much for touching my heart with your beautiful lyrics Lights~

[vempriex]

@Anarnee

I couldn't agree more with this song and I just wish I can share this song to my secret crush. Lovely and heart-felt song.

[AlyssaMau5]

"Artist: The Lights" ..........the f*ck? 0_o

[vanessasuggie]

This song is just awesome. I'm going through a phase in life where yet again I was happy and I had to let go that special person, was sad again and listened to this song and kept replaying it <3 creds to y'all for making this vid (:

[LovinthatPink31]

Am the only one who cried?This song speaks to me.

[LovaMonkay]

@LovinthatPink31 I cry every time I hear this song. :')

[BakBro1945]

@LovinthatPink31 don't worry i don't cry much, but on the inside i'm crying :3

[debby2199]

This made my day :)

[loracuba95]

Thank god for this song <3

[LIGHTSLove17]

this song makes me feel like the light is right beside me.;)

[TiffanyandSaga]

i love the chorus. it helped me a lot.

[1997dessy]

This song helped me a lot. I layed in my bed crying all day today and when my brother came and played this song for me i started to weep. But i got up, there is always hope

[alittlepyro]

i just want to feel alive.. is that too much to ask?

[listentomewhynot]

@alittlepyro you're aready alive , so its not that hard to feel alive ...stop getting depressed over your stupid , 1st world problems , somebody don't have food ..c'mon

[TeachMeToDemi]

she seriously needs to be more famous.

[TheIsobel51]

6 people are face down.

[Ninnzter]

It is hard winter in Estonia . It is quite magical , when you walk through the forest and listen to this song! Heart just warms up . <3

[ISNTaWeaboo]

ALRIGHT WHO DISLIKED THIS?!

[Ninnzter]

@ISNTaWeaboo

Thinking the same thing here .

[Fg5x3]

Sometimes you try to help someone, but they won’t listen; they won’t- they DON’T believe they can be helped. If they can’t help themselves, then how could you be of service to them?

Sometimes, the only thing you could do is listen. And for the ones who are lucky enough to find this song… Don’t stop listening.

Keep your face up, because it’s your only way out.

[urapnut]

This song made me be happy again♥

[OnceUponATuesday]

This song saved my life..

[sonyasalazar07]

love this song

[genericusernames2]

I like this song because it brings you back to Earth and reminds you of what's important in life.

[mydog8myhomework14]

@whenitfallsapart6 i know how you feel life can be tough

[mydog8myhomework14]

[queenofdarkness195]

This song is really helping me right now. Right now, my family and I is going through a hard time. We're moving, and I'll have to go to another school where I know NO ONE. When I went to the school I'm going to at the moment, I met a girl over the summer. So, I wasn't really alone then. I just have to be strong for my family. I must.

[hotfoxygirl100]

15 likes and i will sing this to my friend who is in a mental hospital for overdosing

[rosy48842]

@hotfoxygirl100

Why do you need likes? You should probably go sing this to your friend no matter how many likes you get...

[NeoJewlz]

@hotfoxygirl100 Why do you need likes for that? Do it because you care nor for publicity

[hotfoxygirl100]

@NeoJewlz Ok well whatever... Thanks for your snotty attitude...

[queenofdarkness195]

@hotfoxygirl100 you should NOT ask for 15 likes for THAT. JustDoIt.... Not to be rude, I'm just saying. 15 likes isn't going to sing it for you.

[hotfoxygirl100]

@queenofdarkness195 Umm ok??? thanks for being rude its very appreciated(:

[queenofdarkness195]

@hotfoxygirl100 I didn't mean it in a rude way. I'm just tired of people like you getting on here and asking for likes on a pathetic comment that'll get you NO WHERE. Don't YOU get a cocky attitude just because people are telling why you should've never asked for likes. You had it coming and YOU knew you it...

[hotfoxygirl100]

@queenofdarkness195 Ok your soo right...

[queenofdarkness195]

@hotfoxygirl100 Alright, now that that is settled. Have a nice day... o. o

[spookychick78]

@hotfoxygirl100 You only have four likes so far, so if you're really planning on doing that, why not just do it despite the number of likes you have? I'm pretty sure it'd make that person's day. Why keep them waiting?

[Razoraider]

@hotfoxygirl100 U should do it not for the likes...

[rubyylalax3]

@hotfoxygirl100 Don't wait for 15 likes; sing it to your friend he/she deserves to hear it! :)

[KatieMae131]

@hotfoxygirl100 you shouldn't have to have likes to sing it to him/her you should just get up the confidence and sing it to him/her anyway

[Littleliongal14]

This is my alarm for the morning

[rosy48842]

And to IMGUZZLINURASS (beautiful username, by the way)

Your one of those people who doesn't care if people kill themselves. You say they are weak. I think your the weak one here. The people who act the strongest are really the weakest. Someday, when a person you love dearly commits suicide, you won't be left wondering why they did it. you'll be left KNOWING why they did it, but wondering why you told them to get over it and never helped them.

[Blondeoftheasians]

@rosy48842 Preach. :')

[rosy48842]

@Blondeoftheasians xD why thank you.

[xoxoIDGAFxoxo]

thank you

[Jordansky004]

I wish Chris couldve heard this :'( R.I.P Christian B. Walters 12/27/2011 ...

[YovilleFinest]

She saved hundreds, no thousands of people from commiting suicide <3

[kawaiisama12]

i broke into tears hearing this song

[DreamWithNoLimits]

its not lie up.. it's light up

[wish2goback]

Me and school

Its late and im tired Wish i could spark my parents smile The play place is flying high but right now i wanna be low. Dont wanna move an Inch let alone a on fyfe. And i dont wanna go to school but ik i gotta go. ------- I always never wanna go to school so i lay in bed all day.

My name is destery im 11 year old girl. This song saved my life.

[charmedoblivion]

Wish i could spark your Smile <3 - you bet i do!

[ODSTblindside]

This is my first time listening to Lights and I have to say...her voice captivates me :3

[AnastasiaSilvi]

gonna set this song as my alarm tone

[whenitfallsapart6]

I listen to this everyday. It makes me think that I might not be as alone as I think. This song gives me hope, people should listen to things like this and not shitty songs with nonsense lyrics.

[TheOkThx]

@whenitfallsapart6 its depends on the mood, u know I love Lights song, very peaceful, but some times a like some beat like drum and bass for example

[whenitfallsapart6]

@TheOkThx I know what you mean, there are a lot of kinds of music and you will listen different styles of music depeding on your mood or the way you're feeling. But I meant that people should listen to music with meaningful lyrics, songs that have something to say; a message, like this one.. but yes, I agree with you, there are different kinds of music to listen to in different moments.

[wish2goback]

This is for me and school. ;\

[mayaiscool11]

It's actually dark out but you still gotta light up...

[ILuvAdamRandalYoung]

why does everyone talk about taylor swift "reading people's diaries"? i think lights stole mine...

[xvashleyfanx]

i love the style of lyric videos you make :) they're always so clear.

[Bluedancer95]

When I'm emotionally dying, I listen to this song and get revived xx

[TammyChocolate]

"How can you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right?" This line is so true. I ask myself the same thing...

[nijaah42o]

What album is this from?

[LIGHTSFans]

@nijaah42o "The Listening". It was released in 2009.

[LIGHTSfan2]

@nijaah42o This song is from "The Listening"

Lights, you take music and turn it into a beautiful piece of art. Lights is my Saviour...

[Blanch202]

i want to ba a musitian... you know why? because when i read these posts i see that lights is literally saving lives, and changing them. i just want to say thank you to lights for being such an influence to any one, i want to be a musitian because i want to infuense people they way she does... sadly im not a musitain, i draw anime, and i really havent changed any ones lives. i just want to be the difference in a same world...

[RawrrPink]

I think we should send this song to Jonah Mowery,so he can learn to be stronger:)

[BitchYouGetNoLovex]

I feel like the chorus is just her speaking to only me. Telling me that I need to get the fuck up and stop being miserable as crap all the damn time.

Life isn't gonna wait for you be happy, YOU have to remind yourself that life is too short and there are SO many experiences that you're gonna have to be miserable 24/7. Things get better. Suicide, cutting yourself, etc, it's NOT worth it. Take it from me, a girl who's tried all of those things, and more.

Stay strong. You're beautiful.

[ISNTaWeaboo]

@BitchYouGetNoLovex Your name ruined it.

[ChrisIsNinja8D]

@ISNTaWeaboo I was thinking just the same ;3

[BitchYouGetNoLovex]

@ISNTaWeaboo Lmao I figured someone would say that sooner or later. o_e

[ibangbigbangxo]

Sorry but when someone says "I am suicidal" or "I'm thinking of ending my life" I never take it seriously. Why? Well because so far people who say those things are either looking for attention or trying to be all dramatic for no reason. A lot of these people happen to be teen and preteens who have wonderful lives but they want to look cool or be "emo". What people don't get is your little high school problems will go away. If someone is bullying you then fight back don't be a wimp. Sorry.

[PrincessPocky4]

@ibangbigbangxo :/ You have it too good. Must have never been bullied, must have never been hurt. People can get harassed by groups of people, even by people they love. How the heck are you supposed to defend yourself, all alone, with twenty people beating the snot out of you. What if it was a little boy against a high schooler. One girl against the words of every other girl in her school. I would say if only you knew, but I'd prefer someone as perfect as yourself didn't have to deal with that.

[ibangbigbangxo]

@PrincessPocky4 FYI I was bullied, but when I was younger I had no friends and the other girls avoided me like the plague so I developed a thick skin. Last time I was bullied was in my sophomore year of high school and I didn't do crap but I regret not sticking up for myself. Point is, no one is perfect and almost everyone goes through hard times but its never worth killing yourself. You fight for you because no one else will. You need to be strong because the world isn't so kind

[Amekahen]

@ibangbigbangxo Y'know, there was a kid, Billy Lucas. I don't know if you heard of him, but he hung himself to death after his classmates called him gay. Bullying is a serious thing. High School is a big step, and people there tease and bully you. Sometimes they take it to the next level, and they start harassing them. I'm sorry if you don't understand. Apparently you think that you're perfect and that you don't think seriously of suicide and bullying.

[ibangbigbangxo]

@Amekahen No I'm not perfect so don't put words in my mouth. The reason why I dont take it seriously when someone says they have a hard life is because, at least where I live, its the rich spoiled kids that say that. I know for a fact that they have great lives and really all they want is attention. Sorry for anyone who has REAL problems. But I'm tired of seeing people with privileged lives complaining. Btw the real world past high school is uncaring and a lot worse so toughen up.

[Amekahen]

@ibangbigbangxo Some rich spoiled kids actually mean it. Some of there parents can't spend anytime with them, since they're usually too busy. I know the real world out there is tough. I've been there, I've been bullied, I've even been punched by my classmates. One day you'll feel like you don't want your life anymore. And until then, keep on living your own life. I have a privileged life, but I still have it rough. Don't think that the people with a lot of stuff have it easy.

[ibangbigbangxo]

@Amekahen The thing is everyone has it rough. Everyone, yes including me, have been bullied. I've been made fun of and slapped by a "friend" numerous times. We all have hard times and if a song can help people then great. I dont know you and you clearly don't know me if you think that I think I'm perfect. The kids I said complained over small problems I happened to know. They did/do it for attention and to pull off the "emo" look which is just stupid.

[rosy48842]

@ibangbigbangxo

hhmmm, you not taking it seriously will backfire one day. because one day, that teenager is going to MEAN IT. It will be over. and YOU will live in regret because you had fair warning and didn't help him/her when you could. Yes, some kids fake it. But others are really hurting, and you should probably take that a bit more seriously.

[ibangbigbangxo]

@rosy48842 Right. Whatever you say.

[rosy48842]

@ibangbigbangxo I don't need you to believe me. Someday that will come right back at you. When somebody you love really does mean it, you'll have treated them like shit and ignored it when they needed you. You don't have to believe me, but you may want to think a little harder about it.

[ibangbigbangxo]

@rosy48842 Why would I treat someone like shit? I can tell when someone is really hurting, problem is a majority of ppl I see who are hurting just want me to give them attention. From personal experience when you are depressed to the point where you want to give up, no matter how much you cry to someone they won't be able to help. You yourself need to get up and make a change.

[ttomssweet]

thumbs up if you're here because of heechul :D

[clubpenguinroxz4evz]

im going through a very hard time.. since last year, and the dream i had i woke up about to cry...i was in the shower i cried because of how horrified by the dream... im still shaken up.. im not sure lights can help me or not...im only 13..and as a type this i'm crying... im so lost,sad, frustrated over silly things..the people that try to help me i push them away.. ): and i need them more than ever now.....

[DubstepRawrz]

I don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles, to fail and never be able to live with the thought of me being wrong once more. ): All I know is I have to get up, and keep my head up. Let all that has been go, and move on. But I don't know if I can anymore...

[tomboygirl1113]

[ilovedemijoe]

Sorry. I just can't take songs with alot of auto tune seriiously.

[bekahbunny1]

@ilovedemijoe why dont u look up her acoustic versions and then make up ur mind. she has an amazing voice and good lyrics.

[ilovedemijoe]

@bekahbunny1 I know. I'm talking about this song.

[ATaleOfMenAndWolves]

I had just been going through an insanely bad year of my life, and I was contemplating suicide. I tried so many things to make myself happy again but nothing was working. I heard a song by lights and I liked it, so I decided to check out the rest of her stuff. I heard this song, felt the emotion that she puts into it and every other song that she has written, and it gave me the strength to lift up my chin and get a better grasp on my life. Thank you Lights, thank you for saving my life.

[Silkstripe]

All of her songs are the truth.

Sung from her heart.

Unlike the other people who are obsessed with money and sex.
