like the way the light breaks
how it bends and it shapes
the same way a heart makes
its plea
casting over
filling every corner
creeping through every crack
you see
no lies no shade can hide
a truth, a part,
evidence of a heart
it's obvious
isn't it obvious?
and even in shadow
i see you and i know
i'm in darkness the same
but light
casting over
filling every corner
bleaching paint, fading white,
you see
no lies no shade can hide
a truth, a part,
evidence of a heart
it's obvious
isn't it obvious?
