In the Dark
Would you believe me
If I told you I get lonely sometimes?
And could you really, really see me
If I showed you all my scars?
When all the lights hit the night
I tend to hide
Inside my fright
And as all the plastic people
As they do their departing
I see myself standing
In the dark
When I cry tonight
Again and again
I'll marry this room
And all the candles within
To the one true light there is
Beneath my skin surface
And as I try to find
Meaning in my lines
I struggle to make sense
Of the world today
At a gleaming glance
It's all pretend
We're just - all pretend
But I won't pretend
To be in love with the day
Even if every new today
Brings me a new night
I have to lose this fight
To see me be standing
In the dark
