Twilight

Vanessa Carlton

I was stained, with a role,
in a day not my own
but as you walked into my life
you showed what needed to be shown
I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
peel away and choose to see
with such a different sight

(CHORUS)
and I will never see the sky the same way,
and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
and I will never cease to fly if held down,
and I will always reach too high cause I've seen,
cause I've seen, twilight

never cared never wanted
never sought to see what flaunted
so on purpose so in my face
couldn't see beyond my own place
it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
but you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days

(CHORUS)
as the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
it fills the warmth of blue
and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't knw that I could be
so blind to all that is so real
but as illusion dies
I see there is so much to be revealed

(CHORUS)

I was stained, by a role,
in a day not my own
but as you walked into my life
you showed what needed to be shown
I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

(CHORUS)
