A Different Light

I'm like an actor who is waiting in the wings

Rehearsing lines

A thousand times

I know the moment that I step out on the stage

I face the fact

No turning back

And then you'll see me in a different light

Just like a portrait hanging in a gallery

I'll be on show

For you to see

And like a book that you can read between the lines

On every page

A plot reveals

The final chapter in a story of illusion

I am about to reach the point of no return

I can't conceal

The way I feel

There are so many things that I could say to you

But that would be

Dishonesty

You know the truth is that I've loved you from the start

I couldn't say

I was afraid

That you would see me in a different light

Is there a way that you could find it in your heart

To let me in

Then we'll begin

To share a life that's full of happiness and joy

And as of now

I'll make a vow

That you will always be a part of me forever

So now it's up to you to end this misery

Open your heart

And hear my plea

If you say yes then everything will turn out right

And then you'll see me in a different light
