Lend me a light

I've needed it once and I'll need it again
But there's always something that makes it your friend
And it's a means to an end, it's a means to an end
And I've never stopped being someone who pretends
And it's really okay, yeah it's really alright
But at times I can scream and just cry through the night
But you lend me a light, yeah you've lend me a light
That I'd love to look into but still have to fight

Please don't look me in the eye
Because I don't think I can climb
From the depth that you
Let me fall into

Sometimes I'm blind yeah sometimes I can't see
At times I can act like I'm only fifteen
Were you an end to the means, were you an end to the means
I'm just sorry I let you get caught in between
But you seemed to stop
While the crowded room flocked like a mob
To the stage in a music-hall flop
And the penny just dropped
Yeah the dams were unlocked
And you flooded around me 'til I couldn't stop

And please don't look me in the eye
Because I don't think I can climb
From the depth that you
Let me fall into
