Lyrics

Film version

Twilight sees Midnight Sparkle in her reflection EG4 — "They mustn't see the midnight in me..."

[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.
