You can close you're eyes and tell me
 That you are a visionary
 And maybe you're a little scary
 But you take my breath away
 When you say you'll always be there
 It paints such a lovely picture
 But no matter how you frame it
 It's still pornography

 Nobody seems to hear
 Till I scream and shout
 Even if you tie me down
 And you blow my candle out

 I'll still glow
 I'll still glow
 I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know
 I'll still glow

 I see this girl with so much anger
 Pacified by holding strangers
 Making peace with all her danger
 By looking in the mirror
 The pureness in my name is gone now
 You've taken it too far but somehow
 I'll lick my wounds and take the last bow
 And hold my cold left hand

 There's so many things 
 That you rant about 
 The only thing I know for sure
 If you blow my candle out

 I'll still glow
 I'll still glow
 I'll be the perfect someone
 That you'll never know
 I'll still glow

[guitar solo]

 I'll still glow
 I'll still glow
 I'll be the perfect someone
 That you'll- that you'll never know

 I'll still glow
 I'll still glow
 I'll be the perfect someone that you'll never know
 I'll still glow
