O Light of the Night
Why do you still feel lonely
Did He not show you
You can overcome this slowly?
Did He not tell you
He'll be by your side
Did He not say
You'll be alright?
Then why the tears
Like waterfalls in the dark
Glistening to the empty
Sorrows of your heart
Why the questions
That creep into your head
The ones that haunt you
Say you're their best target
Because that's my hamartia
My biggest fatal flaw
I love to light others' night
Then sit haunted at night alone
She finds her light
In the darkness of others
She cries patiently to sleep
Waiting for someone to turn on hers
It's my test, my challenge
I've got to face it myself
I've only got Him and...
I've only got myself
