In the Darkness of the Night
The darkness wraps me up
In its blanket of sorrow
It tries to lull me to sleep
With dreams of a better tomorrow
But in the dark
A loneliness Breeds
Feelings of failure and despair
Feeling that once made me bleed
The sadness of the dark
Draws me to a dangerous sleep
Where dreams of happiness
Make me wake and weep
I dream of moving away
I dream of another life
Where there is this man
Who takes me away to be his wife
When I wake up in the light
The dream escapes from my mind
And I realise with clarity
That to life I've been blind
I wonder how it came to this
And how I could've been so wrong
I thought fate held my cards
But it was me all along
I've ruined every relationship
Time and time again
Because escaping from commitment
Avoided the blinding pain
