Twilight

I was stained, with a role, In a day not my own But as you walked into my life You showed what needed to be shown I always knew, what was right I didn't know that I might Peel away and choose to see With such a different sight And I will never see the sky the same way, And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down, And I will always reach too high cause I've seen, Cause I've seen twilight Never cared never wanted Never sought to see what flaunted So on purpose so in my face Couldn't see beyond my own place It was so easy not to behold what I could hold But you taught me I could change Whatever came within these shallow days And I will never see the sky the same way, And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down, And I will always reach too high cause I've seen, Cause I've seen twilight As the sun shines through it pushes away And pushes ahead It fills the warmth of blue And leaves a chill instead and I didn't know that I could be So blind to all that is real But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed And I will never see the sky the same way, And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down, And I will always reach too high cause I've seen, Cause I've seen twilight I was stained, by a role, In a day not my own But as you walked into my life You showed what needed to be shown I always knew, what was right I didn't know that I might Peel away and choose to see With such a different sight And I will never see the sky the same way, And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday And I will never cease to fly if held down, And I will always reach too high cause I've seen, Cause I've seen twilight --- Twilight - Vanessa Carlton
