I've seen your shiny lights, but,
I've seen the moon.
So keep your synthetic stars,
I won't be coming back any time soon.
I just need a dim light,
And I'll keep it way down low,
Only for me and my piano.
I used to believe my words,
Could, help the world to see,
But as a matter of fact,
I was lucky they even saved me.
So I need a hiding place for me to go,
Only for me and my piano.
I won't try to impress with music, or lyrics any more,
Trying to please you became an unhealthy chore,
It's time to rekindle an old relationship,
And let it grow,
It's time for me and my piano.
It took me time, to realise mistakes I've made,
And I can't afford, to just blindly serenade,
It's getting late,
And it's time for you to know,
It's time for me and my piano.
The beauty's back, to where it once begun,
Before I knew a note,
Before any song was sung,
Learning to hear, and listen just so,
Only me and my piano,
Only me,
Only me,
Only me, and my piano.
