I hold myself in the cold
In this twisted night I feel alone
I scream so loud but no one can hear
I watch every echo disappear.
My heart in my hand, a weight in my eyes
Can't tell if I'm mad or if I just wanna cry
I can't feel my heart, still it beats too fast
You tell me to jump and I don't dare yo look back.
~chorus:
Enlighten me
Let me see
What am I doing wrong?
The list seems to just go on
In the chess you live in
You're the priceless king
And everyone else is just a pawn
Sacrificed to prove their worth.
Manage me, I'm a mosaic
Of every flaw, of every mask
The storm is coming, I better wait
So I can fall down along with the rain.
You're the king and I'm just your daughter
No princess title or any other
No common ground to fall apart
No call to show how sorry you are.
~chorus:
Enlighten me
Let me see
What am I doing wrong?
The list seems to just go on
In the chess you live in
You're the priceless king
And everyone else is just a pawn
Sacrificed to prove their worth.
~bridge:
Stop blaming God for what humans do
You can't condemn people 'cause they don't please you
Take a look around, you are loved, but alone
You scared them all away with your fist made of gold.

Enlighten me
