"I don't really wanna go through this, tell him to come in here, cos he..he..he.."
-or?-
"I don't even wanna go through this, tell him to come in here, cos he..he..he.."
I thought I heard you saying
Thought you said you missed me
But you were only history -or?- But you only hissed me
When I was gone
I thought I heard you say
They've done you in good
And yes, I believe they would
May I console you
But I did you no wrong
That's not like me, I did you no wrong
So don't put it all on me
And you are not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world now
No you're not the light of the world now
I heard you walk
Under the black skittle hall dad -or?- blacks got all dad -or?- blacks ghetto, dad -or?- I heard her blast it all bad
To hurt me, and yes it's sad
Have this settle the score -or?- Has it settled the score?
I thought I heard you walk
Up the fire-escape last night
And yes, in the deep of the night
I wished you were back
But I did you no wrong
That's not like me, I did you no wrong
So don't put it all on me
And you are not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world now
No you're not the light of the world now
But I did you no wrong
That's not like me, I did you no wrong
So don't blame it all on me
And you are not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world
But you shine on me
No you're not the light of the world now
No you're not the light of the world now
No you're not the light of the world now
No you're not the light of the world
