about

"What's easy in the night
Is always such a fight
In the morning light"
-- Ida Maria, "Morning Light"

lyrics

I don't wanna open my eyes in the morning
I know what everybody's seen
I don't wanna open my mouth without warning
Deep down, I'm feeling so unclean

And I know, in my home, on my own, I'm alone
I'm unknown, I'm the only soul
But I know if I ask for the truth of my past,
They will tell me just to leave it alone
"Just leave it alone"

I don't wanna see myself in the mirror
Don't wanna show my face downtown
It's a pain, it's a shame to be named that much clearer
To be alive all your way down

And I know in my soul, I can hold some control
If I don't start to rumble and moan
But I know there's a chance, in the depth of the dance,
I'll forget to just leave it alone

To leave it alone

And I know if you go, I will hold to my bones
I will know how to go on my own
But I know if you go, I'll walk alone
Among these stones
If you leave me alone

Just leave it alone...
