light of some kindwish i didn't have this nervous laugh wish i didn't say half the stuff i say wish i could just learn to cover my tracks guess i'm not concerned enough about getting away with it every time i try to hold my tongue it slips like a fish from the line they say if you're gonna play you should learn how to play dumb guess i can't bring myself to waste your time 'cuz we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only one i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have these things weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind musta blown a fuse or something it was so dark in my mind she came up to me with the sweetest face and she was holding a light of some kind and i still think of you as my boyfriend i don't think this is the end of the world maybe you should follow my example and go meet yourself a really nice girl we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only boy i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have these things weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind in the end the whole world comes down to just a few people for you it comes down to one but nobody ever asked me if i thought i could be everything to someone there's a crowd of people harbored in every person there are so many roles that we play you've decided to love me for eternity and i'm still deciding who i want to be today we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying and you're the only boy i ever let see thru me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying i hope i never improve my game i would rather have this thing weigh on my mind 'cuz at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind give me a light of some kind i want a light of some kind © 1995 ani difranco / righteous babe music |
