Light Quote by John Mayer

“Baby you're the only light I ever saw. I make the most of all the sadness, you be a bitch because you can. You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty 'cause you can't understand. We're going down and you could see it to…we're slow dancing in a burning room!!!” quote by John Mayer
