Paroles de A Light

I could run away alone and never have to see his face
'Cause what if I don't know myself?
It wasn't like he chose my help
And I would have to teach him what, and why
And what if he already knows more than I?
I want to be a light for him
I want to be a light for him
Even if I can't I'll try

So please, please, please, please
Don't make your mother sad
And try to be good sometimes
But if you can't, well sometimes you can't
And I will bear the pain when it's bad
And I'll still take you plain if you're that

So what if I forget to breathe
Or I'm shaking like a tambourine?
And how to tell him he's done wrong
When I never did it right when I was young
And what if I don't like the boy?
Or worse, what if he don't like me first?

I want to be a light for him
I want to be a light for him And try to be good sometimes
But if you can't, well sometimes you can't
And I will bear the pain when it's bad
And I'll still take you plain if you're that
But I won't just quit when I know it's hard
And you won't get tossed like a Christmas card

I want to be a light for when the dark
When the dark gets wild
I want to be a light
No spinning loose like an old turnstile

I want to be a light for him
I want to be a light for him

So please, please, please, please
Don't make your mother sad
And try to be good sometimes
But if you can't, then sometimes you can't
And I will bear the pain when it's bad
And I'll still take you plain if you're that
But I won't just quit when I know it's hard
And you won't get tossed like a Christmas card
