Night Light

Selfish, defensive
I'm not defensive
Trusting, giving
It gets expensive

Just talk to me
Just talk to me
An interaction or distraction
I'll take some action later on
I promise there's more to me
Just talk to me
I'm scared of the dark
'cause I've played that part
And I need to recharge

So can we keep the night light on
Just this once
The night light on

My heart's not in it
'Cause I try to limit the truth
from coming out wrong
(Ha ha)
I hate hypocrites but can't deal with it
When I am finally at fault

Please someone just talk to me
Just talk to me
An interaction or distraction
I'll take some action later on
I promise there's more to me
Just talk to me
I'm scared of the dark, can't be apart
I need to recharge

So can we keep the night light on
Just this once
The night light on
You know I'm comfortable
With the lights turned on
Don't wanna show you that I'm not that strong
Without the night light

Delusion, it creeps in
Confusion, it seeps in
It patches up the cracks of light
I can't take another night
If the lights turn off, if the candle's out
If the battery's flat, if the power's down
And no one's around

Can't rely on the night light until the end
How do you make the darkness your friend
Talk to it
Do I just talk to it
(Talk to it, talk to it, talk to it)

Selfish, defensive
Am I defensive
