Different Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See me in a different light
And things will be o.k.
Why are you so blind that you
Can only see today
See me in a different space
That you'd expect to see
Leave me to be taken in
By others close to me
See me with a different face
That I've had in my past
Criticize the other jerks
Who make this madness last
