Ecstasy in the Spotlight

by Terri Lynn   Dec 23, 2004


I'm in the spotlight.
Can't see, too bright.
Just your silhouette, just you.
Why are you still here,
After what I put you through?

I'm the one with the attention crave.
You're off to the side, but God, you're so brave!
To take me on, to deal with me.
A recipe for catastrophe.

As I dance on tables and drink too much.
I'm the one they go to for a rush.
But when I'm passed out int eh bathroom sink,
You're the only one who wants to think
About Me.

So many times when I'm laying in bed,
I think about the things I've said.
I'm stubborn, non-commited, too stupid to see.
Come on, marry me.
Please.

You wonder why I'm wide-eyed.
I'm taking you all in tonight.
Blood has smeared my lips, I know.
I'm just not ready to let you go.
You are all I have, and all I need,
I don't want you to see me bleed.
Just not tonight.

Do you remember how I used to be?
How great I was?....How great I seemed?
I'm running out of space,
Can you hold me now, just in case...
I hate to be alone in the spotlight.
I love you
