Crush Luther - A Light lyrics

I could run away alone and never have to see his face 'Cause what if I don't know myself? It wasn't like he chose my help And I would have to teach him what, and why And what if he already knows more than I? I want to be a light for him I want to be a light for him Even if I can't I'll try So please, please, please, please Don't make your mother sad And try to be good sometimes But if you can't, well sometimes you can't And I will bear the pain when it's bad And I'll still take you plain if you're that So what if I forget to breathe Or I'm shaking like a tambourine? And how to tell him he's done wrong When I never did it right when I was young And what if I don't like the boy? Or worse, what if he don't like me first? I want to be a light for him I want to be a light for him Even when we can't do worse So please, please, please, please Don't make your mother sad And try to be good sometimes But if you can't, well sometimes you can't And I will bear the pain when it's bad And I'll still take you plain if you're that But I won't just quit when I know it's hard And you won't get tossed like a Christmas card I want to be a light for when the dark When the dark gets wild I want to be a light No spinning loose like an old turnstile I want to be a light for him I want to be a light for him So please, please, please, please Don't make your mother sad And try to be good sometimes But if you can't, then sometimes you can't And I will bear the pain when it's bad And I'll still take you plain if you're that But I won't just quit when I know it's hard And you won't get tossed like a Christmas card
