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
