Scribbles of the Heart

Too Much Light

City lights were fascinating

That was what I thought

But now they've been suffocating

Since that time we fought

"Please don't let him let me go,"

I wished upon the twinkling stars

But I knew my chances were very low

Gone was the love I thought were ours

'Cause I couldn't see the stars alight

Here in the city, so bright at night

I loved colors, but since our fight

My life has been all black and white

There's too much light, too much light...

In this city, there's too much light!

Tonight, I despise the city lights

They obscure my view of the sky

Tonight, the city isn't a pretty sight

'Everything that happened here was just a lie

Now the neon signs are glaring

Down at my fragile frame

And the lit-up windows are laughing

Silently mocking my name

The glints and glows are scorning me

Quietly jeering at my sorrows

Why can't they just let me be?

Tonight, I belong to the shadows
