Turn off the Light
You always said it's not a light switch you can turn off
I never thought I could just turn off the light.
That to me this would just end.
I had hoped that things would be alright.
I never thought that I could live without the daylight.
A brightness that only blinded.
It caused me to change my sight.
Thinking I couldn’t live in perpetual night.
A relationship that will never mend.
If only the stars could hear my plight.
I had a love for you that, under the circumstances, just felt right.
Thinking that my heart wouldn’t bend.
Remembering that 2020 vision only comes hindsight.
I never thought I could just turn off the light.
A relationship that did end.
I never thought that I could live without the daylight.
But really, I had been living in perpetual night.
