You need to know it’s not always perfect
That sometimes I might fall along the way
You need to grasp that I’m a full time job
Not someone who is ready all the time
You need to know that I cry
That sometimes life gets me down
You need to believe that I love you
But sometimes I still want to die
These things you need to understand
Before you take my heart in hand
My life’s a candle that flickers dark and light
You have the choice am I worth the fight?
Am I worth the fight?
You need to know that sometimes I smile
That sometimes I laugh out loud
You need to believe I know life is great
And sometimes I like hanging out with friends
You need to know sometimes I like color
That dark isn’t my only wardrobe
You need to see that sometimes my eyes sparkle
When a rainbow is painted across the sky
These things you need to understand
Before you take my heart in hand
My life’s a candle that flickers dark and light
I need to know will you still love me after tonight?
Will you after tonight?
The rain on the sidewalk sings out our song
Will you sing along with triumph…
…Or run away and hide?
I know we could be perfect
If I was what you wanted inside
But I have my dark corners
I just thought you needed to know
That even though
Your still part of my black heart
Will you fight?
Will you love me tonight?
I give you my heart in hand
Hoping…
…Hoping…
…You’ll understand
