TURN ON THE LIGHTS

you say you want love

but simple wanting is not enough

love yourself first

and be the lover that you’d want

 

don’t settle for less

get what you deserve

you deserve the best

but doesn’t another

deserve no less

from you?

 

turn on the lights

clean up your room

put your life in order

let them come to you

 

but you turn away

a terrible truth too hard to take

and so you wallow

in self-denial

a martyr you make 

 

turn on the lights

clean up your room

put your life in order

let them come to you

 

love was never meant to save the lost

love was never meant to be at all costs

 

they’ll be lining up in droves

just to be close to you

they’ll be utterly amazed

you’ll even amaze yourself

 

turn on the lights

clean up your room

put your life in order

let the come to you

let them come

let them come to you

let them come
