I have to turn off the lights
 to know what i'm 
 feeling deep down inside

 otherwise i don't know how i
 feel in the light

 i am no longer a child
 i've forgotten how to cry

 he says, she says, they say, 
 i stopped hearing
 what i say

 let me cry, like a child

 i have to burn inside
 my own fire
 burning keeps me alive

 otherwise i will die
 no more burning light

 i have to give it a try
 try to remember what its like

 he said, she said, they said
 i stopped hearing
 the child in my head

 let me cry, like a child
