When I look at you all I can see

Is the shadow of your life

You see this 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

I feel like I'm ready to love



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 no one to blame

But no one 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 look at me I'll just keep singing



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

I feel 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

I feel like I'm ready
