Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood
|
Apparently I don't have the right attitude
|
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need
|
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me
|
|
Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts
|
Don't need your phony pearls of wisdom, you can have them back
|
Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself
|
If I'm gonna be alone I'd rather be my myself
|
|
CHORUS
|
Turn the lights back on
|
Turn the lights back on
|
That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone
|
She's dead and gone
|
|
You've read The Road Less Traveled
|
You think you know everything
|
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing
|
If you'd look in the mirror I could tell you what you'd see
|
It'd be a real education, tuition's free
|
|
How could you just sit there all those years
|
And watch me throw away
|
Everything I wanted and worked for
|
And the dreams I couldn't even say
|
Didn't it ever occur to you to once ask me why
|
I guess it didn't, and I think that's maybe worse than a lie
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you
|
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to
|
But you couldn't understand me, you couldn't even see
|
Your hand before your face, much less me
|
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me
|
And I'd have been better off with nothing
|
|
CHORUS (2x)
