STATUS: finished, a few words may be wrong
When I look at you, and all I can see
Is the shadow of your life
You see the stage is a mirror: you can see me
But I can't see past its light
Lovers have tried to reach down inside
I only said that they were wrong
But when all I've got left, is me and my pride
I realize you can't buy love with a song
So somebody take me out of the night
Show me what life is made of
Won't somebody reach inside of my heart
I think that I'm ready to love
I think that I'm ready to love
Feels like I'm ready to love
Oh
Well a lesson that's learned too late is a crime I can't stand the pain of what could have been
Oh it's such a shame there's noone to blame
Ch:But/BL:Yet noone knows what I have seen
What do you see when you look at me
Do I really seem so far away
But the song will go on
And you will applaud
And when you look at me I'll just keep singing
Somebody take me out of the night
Show me what life is made of
Oh somebody reach inside of my heart
I think that I'm ready to love
I think that I'm ready to love
Feels like I'm ready to love
Oh show me what life's made of
Somebody please reach inside of my heart
I think that I'm ready to love
I think that I'm ready to love
Feels like I'm ready
