Amitri Del - Cruel Light Of Day lyrics

rate me

Someone's opening up for business

The morning rings the same old way

But someone should've taught me forgiveness

Now I see it in the cruel light of day

Tell him he's done me a kindness

She was going to leave anyway

But love is such sweet blindness

'Til you see it in the cruel light of day

Last night was just a comedy

And I woke up like a walking tragedy

And it was right in front of me

But I just laughed and turned my eyes away.

So pour me another cup of coffee

I ain't ever seen the city look so grey

And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness

They ain't no jewels in the cruel light of day.

No I ain't some accessory

She can slip off from her back and just fold away

I don't need no one undressing me

When I wake up in the same suit everyday.

So someone's opening up for business

The shutters roll so familiarly

And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless

But I don't see it in the cruel light of day
