Turn The Lights Back On Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood 

Apparently I don't have the right attitude 

Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need 

Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me 

Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts 

Don't need your phony pearls of wisdom, you can have them back 

Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself 

If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be my myself 

Turn the lights back on 

Turn the lights back on 

That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone 

She's dead and gone 

You've read, "The Road Less Traveled", you think you know everything 

A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing 

If you'd look in the mirror, I could tell you what you'd see 

It'd be a real education, tuition's free 

How could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw away 

Everything I wanted and worked for and the dreams I couldn't even say 

Didn't it ever occur to you to once ask me why 

I guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lie 

Turn the lights back on 

Turn the lights back on 

That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone 

She's dead and gone 

I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you 

I trusted you, you said, "I was supposed to" 

But you couldn't understand me 

You couldn't even see 

Your hand before your face, much less me 

So you told me all this stuff about you 

Pretended it was about me 

And I'd have been better off with nothing 

Turn the lights back on 

Turn the lights back on 

That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone 

She's dead and gone 

Turn the lights back on 

Turn the lights back on 

That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone 

She's dead and gone
