Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I had an inkling this was going to end in tears
All the drinking - it just confirmed my fears
I remember thinking
“God, I hope someday you’ll see me
Even briefly
In a good light”

So I saw it coming
But a month turned into twelve
Before I thought of running
Crying, “Darling, save yourself!”
But I did nothing
Hoping that you’d see me
Even briefly
In a good light

Oh, I’ll admit a moment’s doubt
When the candle flickered out
Yeah, but wait another year
Seemed such a pale idea
And darling, it’s dark in here

God, I hope someday you’ll see me
Even briefly
In a good light
In a good light…
