The Lights

Hands are shaking, palms are sweating
I can’t get that image off my mind
When I think of all the advantages you’ve taken
How could I be so painfully blind

Well, the lights are on
And I’m coming home
And it just don’t feel like
I belong no more
But you’ve taken your time
And a piece of my heart
Now I’m taking back my life
Gonna make a new start

Get your greasy hands off of me
I’m don’t want you here no more
I didn’t come here to discuss your 'facts'
To hear any more about that whore

Well, the lights are on
And I’m coming home
And it just don’t feel like
I belong no more
But you’ve taken your time
And a piece of my heart
Now I’m taking back my life
Gonna make a new start

Well, it’s raining outside and I’m feeling like I should
All alone and broken, but I know somehow that’s good
I just can’t imagine sitting here with your cold, lying face
I guess I’ve got to take and make my own chances
And some pride that I put you in your place

Well, the lights are on
And I’m coming home
And it just don’t feel like
I belong no more
But you’ve taken your time
And a piece of my heart
Now I’m taking back my life
Gonna make a new start
