Each dip in your demeanor   Is afferent to my soul   The sweetness of your laughter   Is an anodyne to make me whole      If the safety of the wall I've built   To shelter from hurt and guilt   Is scaring you away   I'll tear it down   If only you will stay      I know you're loving someone else   I know it haunts me but I know   So, baby, you should know that you're   The only light I've ever known      When everything falls apart   I'll keep your picture near my heart   Desire offers me respite   It hurts to smile but I'm all right      Sometimes life is what you see   Sometimes real is all you get   Maybe right ain't right for me   We're not meant to be   Baby, good ain't happened yet for me      I'll color dawn all gray   After all this time spent chasing   One immortal day   She softly sinks in twilight's keep   Still evading me in sleep   And it's too late tonight   To bring back the light
