Lianne La Havas Night School song lyrics

So far, solo

He took a light

Twisted my arms, I couldn't learn to fight

The last known pupil with the teacher of the night

Gave him my soul, familiar price

He knew I'd follow

But I'm the fool too blind to realize

That I'd been silenced by the teacher of the night

I had to take his life

My soul shown too bright

She did what she thought to be right

He took my voice, had nothing left

Gave me no choice I'd have to cheat to pass his unfair test

Before I knew it I'd been taught to fear the light

So I had to take his life

My soul shown too bright

She did what she thought to be right

Before the daylight came

I drowned his heart in shame

I broke his arms and legs

Now he; s as good as dead

But oh how he still begs

To trade my soul for light

If I bring him back to life

But I should've known he'd lie
