Ani DiFranco Light Of Some Kind Lyrics

Wish I didn't have this nervous laugh
Wish I didn't say half the stuff I say
Wish I could just learn to cover my tracks
Guess I'm not concerned enough about getting away with it

Every time I try to hold my tongue
It slips like a fish from a line
They say if you're gonna play, you should learn how to play dumb
'Cause I can't bring myself to waste your time

'Cause we both know what I've been doing
Yeah, I've been intentionally bad at lying
You're the only one I ever let see through me
And I hope you believe me when I say I'm trying
And I
I hope I never improve my game
Yes, I would rather have these things weigh on my mind
At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
There must be a light of some kind
There must be a light of some kind

Must've blown a fuse or something
'Cause it was so dark in my mind
She came up to me with the sweetest face and she was holding a light of some kind
And I still think of you as my boyfriend
I don't think this is the end of the world
And maybe you should follow my example
And go meet yourself a really nice girl

'Cause we both know what I've been doing
Yeah, I've been intentionally bad at lying
You're the only boy I ever let see through me
And I hope you believe me when I say I'm trying
And I
I hope I never improve my game
Yes, I would rather have these things weigh on my mind
At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
There must be a light of some kind
A light of some kind

In the end the world comes down to just a few people
For you it comes down to one
But nobody ever asked me if I thought I could be
Everything to someone
There's a crowd of people harboured in every person
There are so many roles that we play
You've decided to love me for eternity
I'm still deciding who I wanna be today

We both know what I've been doing
'Cause I've been intentionally bad at lying
You're the only boy I ever let see through me
And I hope you believe me when I say I'm trying
And I
Hope I never improve my game
Yeah, I would rather have these things weigh on my mind
At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
There must be a light of some kind
I want a light of somekind
I want a light of somekind
Give me a light of somekind
