Lyrics[]
Film version[]
- [Twilight Sparkle]
- It used to be so simple
- It was a world I understood
- I didn't know what I didn't know
- And life seemed pretty good
- But now the darkness rises
- From somewhere deep inside of me
- Her power overtakes me
- Can I keep this midnight from getting free?
- If I can stay with the light
- I know I'll be free
- And I can start to be whole
- I can start to be me
- But instead I am struggling
- With all that I see
- And these friends
- Mustn't see the midnight in me!
- The midnight in me!
- They mustn't see the midnight in me...
Book version[]
- [Twilight Sparkle]
- It used to be so simple, the world I understood.
- I didn't know what I didn't know, and life was so good.
- Then I had to ask questions. The peculiar caught my eye.
- And what I've seen can't be unseen. There is no way to hide.
- Every time I think or feel,
- The monster inside proves to be real.
- Even though I reach for the light,
- I can't escape Midnight.
- Wrestling with the darkness takes its toll.
- It's seen my face; it knows my soul.
- How can I protect my friends,
- Make sure my world doesn't end?
- Even though I reach for the light,
- I can't escape Midnight.
