Flawed

How I loathe the break of day
Where all my failings come to light
No longer safe from prying eyes
Well hidden in the night
Oh, please, hold back the light

How I dread the morning sun
Who's cheerful light shows all my flaws
Where careless words and thoughtless deeds
Show glaringly for all to see
The helpless mess that's really me

I know that I can't find a way
To hold at bay the coming dawn
Yet, how to greet the coming light
Ashamed, destroyed, I can't move on
Reveal my flaws, oh heartless dawn
