I'm Sorry, Baby, But You Can't Stand In My Light Any More

I'm sorry, baby, but

you can't stand in my light any more

you're moving back to the shadows

I can't fight this any more

I tried to heal you, I tried to fix you

I tried to show you compassion

I tried to listen, I tried to love you

even though you were broken

I let you get up close to me

I let you feel the warm and the calm

and you resisted, it took me time to notice

but now I see the shadows as they fall

I always find the broken ones

what does this say about me?

maybe I'm the broken one

maybe when the lights go down

maybe I'm the one who feels lonely

I'm sorry, baby, but

you can't stand in my light any more

you're moving back to the shadows

I can't fight you any more

I hate to leave you standing

in the corner on your own, but

you can't feel the sun unless you

open up your heart

I'm sorry, baby
