She's a loving girl in the day. Her words might be sharp, but they dont cut too deep Not because she Pities you, But because only she Knows the real her after lights out. Strong, confident, and quiet Thats how they describe her. But at night, Only when she's the only on listening, She lets everything out. Tears come out like rivers, Silently, she cries Not because she is too sensitive, But dreading the tick of the clock Each second that passes She'll find a new piece of you to miss, This is the art: Of loving too much While speaking too little Drowning in her own worries, She is me, waiting for the lights to go out.

Lights Out
She's a loving girl in the day. Her words might be sharp, but they dont cut too deep Not because she Pities you, But because only she Knows the real her after lights out. Strong, confident, and quiet Thats how they describe her. But at night, Only when she's the only on listening, She lets everything out. Tears come out like rivers, Silently, she cries Not because she is too sensitive, But dreading the tick of the clock Each second that passes She'll find a new piece of you to miss, This is the art: Of loving too much While speaking too little Drowning in her own worries, She is me, waiting for the lights to go out.
