A.P. Michaels - Lantern Lyrics

You hope for april money showers
As you gave into your greed
Tried to meet you with compassion
In the pot I plant a seed
Now my will is being tested
'Cause you're barking up my tree
Oh no, no
A case of nurture vs. nature
And I fear I've been too kind
Too forgiving to my lovers
When it comes to love, I'm blind
I'm a doormat closing doors
And for a better frame of mind
Oh no, no, no
Oh no
And so I put the foot to pavement, misty skies
Learning how to say goodbye

Every time I try to go
Someone's asking me to stay
I am not your lantern in the fog
Find your own way

Oh look who's floating in my orbit
Nice to see you, how you been
Mr. Hollow, Mrs. Such and Such
Subjectively a friend
The adult in me knows better
But the kid will play pretend, oh no
I'm a precocious people pleaser
Put their pleasure over mine
And I'm jumping at my shadow
When I straighten up my spine
Now the shell shock got me
In the war I have resigned, oh no
And so I put the foot to pavement, misty skies
Learning how to say goodbye

Every time I try to go
Someone's asking me to stay
But I am not your lantern in the fog
Find your own way

Every time I try to go
Someone's asking me to stay
I am not your lantern in the fog
Find your own way, ay, hey, hey, hey
Every time I try to go
Someone's asking me to stay
Well I am not your lantern in the fog
Find your own way

Though I know when you find it
I know I'm gonna mind it
I know I'm gonna mind it
