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 with getting away with it

'Cause every time I try and hold my tongue
It slips like a fish from the line
They say if you're gonna play
You should learn how to play dumb
I guess 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
And 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
'Cause 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 have 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
And 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
'Cause 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
I want light, of some kind

In the end the world comes down to just a few people
For you it comes down to one
But no one ever asked me if I thought I could be
Everything to someone
And there's a crowd of people harboured in every person
There are so many roles that we play
And you've decided to love me for eternity
Im still deciding who i want to be today

'Cause we both know what I've been doing
Yeah I've been intentionally bad at lying
And 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 this thing weigh on my mind
'Cause at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
There must be a light of some kind
I want light of some kind
I want light of some...
Gimme light
Of some kind
I want light of some kind
