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
