Bo Armstrong - You Know What I Look Like in the Dark

Sunday morning on the front steps of the church
Shaking hands with strangers, smiling 'til it hurts
They know a hopeful man who always plays the part
But you know what I look like in the dark
I put in the hours and I feel so sure
I crunch the numbers, and I'm gonna make it work
I show a steady hand when holding all the cards
But you know what I look like in the dark

You've seen me walk away from half the dreams I've had
You saw me crumble when I buried my old man
You've seen my world in pieces laying at my feet
You hear the words I'm saying when I'm talking in my sleep

Thunder rolling and the kids run in
They hide their eyes and ask me when it's gonna end
I tell them it'll be alright and that the troubles far
But you know what I look like in the dark

You've seen me walk away from half the dreams I've had
You felt me shaking on the day I took your hand
You've seen my world in pieces laying at my feet
You hear the words I'm saying when I'm talking in my sleep

I search the mirror but all I see
Is a twisted picture of the man I want to be
Another gray hair and another battle scar
But you know what I look like in the dark
You know what I look like in the dark
