I find it hard to shed a tear You brought it all on yourself my dear Wrong, yes I may be Don't leave a light on for me 'Cause I ain't comin' home It hurts me baby to be alone Yes, it hurts me baby A hundred years will never ease Hearing things I won't believe I saw it with my own two eyes All the pain that I can't hide And this pain starts in my heart And this love tears us apart You won't find me bent down on my knees Ain't bendin' over backwards baby Not to please 'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time I'm seeing things for the first time, oh yeah I'm seeing things for the first time In my life, in my life I used to dream Of better days that never came Sorry ain't nothin' to me I'm gone and that's the way it must be So please I've done my time Lovin' you is such a crime You won't fine me down on, on my knees Won't fine me over backwards baby Just to please 'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time I"m seeing things for the first time Seeing things for the first time Oh I'm seeing things for the first time Yeah, seeing things for the first time I'm seeing things for the first time Yeah, I'm seeing things for the first time In my life, in my life

I lose myself I forget myself Sometimes I fault myself I might fight myself But then I make amends I freeze myself Rain on myself OK, so I stone myself And I might even find myself But then again what happens if I do So unzip my pride Open me up wide So I can show this to you I want to shine for you I want to sparkle too Just like a diamond cursed Well you know it don't get worse You know that I'll save you time Your trouble now is mine Hold me baby Hold me girl And I will laugh with you If you want me to Roll me in your splendor I'll envy your surrender And show you victory I hate myself Doesn't everybody hate themselves I scare myself Then I tell myself it's all in my mind So I let the poison go 'Cause I always know It will be there for me
