Enough with the mood lighting I'm not in the moodApparently I don't have the right attitudeDo you think this is a sense maybe that's what we needThen we could channel some of the dead air between you and meDry your new age tears let's stick to the factsDon't need your phony pearls of wisdom you can have them backDon't want your earnest sympathy keep it to yourselfIf I'm gonna be alone I'd rather be my myselfTurn the lights back onTurn the lights back onThat trusting girl you knew is dead and goneShe's dead and goneYou've read "The Road Less Traveled" you think you know everythingA little knowledge can be such a dangerous thingIf you'd look in the mirror I could tell you what you'd seeIt'd be a real education tuition's freeHow could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw awayEverything I wanted and worked for and the dreams I couldn't even sayDidn't it ever occur to you to once ask me whyI guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lieTurn the lights back onTurn the lights back onThat trusting girl you knew is dead and goneShe's dead and goneI was deaf dumb and blind when I came to youI trusted you you said "I was supposed to"But you couldn't understand meYou couldn't even seeYour hand before your face much less meSo you told me all this stuff about youPretended it was about meAnd I'd have been better off with nothingTurn the lights back onTurn the lights back onThat trusting girl you knew is dead and goneShe's dead and goneTurn the lights back onTurn the lights back onThat trusting girl you knew is dead and goneShe's dead and gone
