May the words you speak mean nothing to me Mean nothing at all so I won't feel the pain And you do not understand, it's here in my heart it's here that I cry. Don't you go away You can't deny it
And you speak in such a way that it doesn't faze you Well, it fazes me Are you scared of me?
(musical interlude)
Speak only to me and don't hear my words Don't see me anymore Just try, see through my past If only you'd let me. Just give me a chance Let me endure to the end You can't deny it
I'm sitting here And I'm waiting patiently For the clock to turn It's not all that fast today
So I'm on my own But I know I'm not alone I'll be witnessing A happy ending
chorus
I'm sitting here in silence I'm waiting here patiently And I'm wondering if you're waiting too I'm sitting here alone now And I'm waiting here on my own I'm wondering If you're waiting for me too
I'm watching now And I'm seeing others as they pass me by It's not a pretty sight But it will be someday
And it's not that I It's not that I'm afraid of losing you I'm afraid of me And what my choices might do
chorus
All the time I seem to wonder How all this is gonna end Will you stay with me forever and Tell me that you'll never go away
I don't know the way that I will go I don't care whether fast or slow Just take me there Now, anyway you can.
I don't know who I really am I don't know how to be a man I don't know anything at all
chorus
Don't ask me tonight
Sometimes I'll take the hand that's out And I will never figure out What took me there Even when I look up high I must always use my head Of all the little things I've ever sadi I don't know anything.
chorus
Somehow you came along You lifted up my head and then you wre gone You're not yourself Where have you been I'm all alone Your story is wearing thin tonight.
Curled up on the couch alone Just sitting, waiting there pathetically Hoping that you'll walk through that door I don't see you anymore You don't see me anymore We don't see anyone at all
So, what have they done to you You were a child You used to see it through What have they done to you.
You used to smile But you couldn't find the crowd It took a while But you couldn't see it through What have they done with you.
chorus
So you look at your life You look at the world The you look to the oceans You're looking for that world A world above the rest Something to set you free Then you realize You need to get out.
So you're swimming around Well, you're swimming deeper still They've got you wearing a crown A crown of steel that's just weighing you down You need to get away
chorus
Well your father was mad But he still is your dad Well you know he was wrong But you can't carry on You need to break that cycle now And rise above the rest The you can be free
I see, the words are kind of hard You don't know where they are Well, here's a start.
I see, the words are kind of harsh You don't know where to start Well, here you are.
chorus
Why did you hold on Why did you hold off Why did you do it? You're in love with yesterday. Why did you hold on Why did you hold off Why did you do it Harsh words just aren't the way
I see, you fell down in your dream You just wanted to scream. Well, don't be mean.
He said, the clock is way past ten No ordinary men Can live like you do.
chorus
I see, the words are kind of harsh You're just pretending who you are. Well, here you are.
If you could open up your eyes And see the colour of my tears They're not that grey, they're not that blue, They're beautiful
If you could just see what I see You'd know the world is not that grey And it's not that blue You'd see the world is beautiful if you would
chorus
Open your eyes, take my hand Take a look at where you stand It's not that hard, just take a step back my friend And see this world We're living in it's beautiful life is beautiful
So take that look from off your face I know it's not that easy so tell me Ohhhhh It's not that grey so look at me and
chorus
It's when I open up my eyes And see the colour of your tears They're not that grey, they're not that blue, no If you could just see what I see you'd know the world is not that grey, it's not that blue You'd see that the world is beautiful
I guess I've come a long ways and I don't even know it I guess I've seen a lot of days and I don't know how to show it It seems people come and people go But somehow I gotta get on with the show It's all the same I hope I don't blow it
Who are you and who am I? It's hard to say sometimes How am I supposed to fly? I really don't know, do you? Who are you and who am I? It's hard to try when I'm so down Who am I?
Suppose it's been a long time but I still have lots to say I know that everything's fine even if it doesn't go my way I still have a little time to grow I have a little more that I could know So, what if everything died? There's still another day
She drives herself through the streets Watching eyes so blindly Taking pictures she can't see or show
On her mind is who to meet Cautioning too kindly Wondering is she'll ever have or need to know
chorus
Sarah doesn't care anymore What they talk about at the back door They say she can't hold her own And her Mama's never home Sarah doesn't care anymore What they talk about at the back door You wonder why she feels so alone How could a young girl feel so old. You know Sarah doesn't care anymore You know what they say at the back door But it's not that way
Sarah walks along silently on her own Keeping to herself Talks to no one else And cares not for anyone Sealing those pictures of the past How time's flown so fast
Don't close your eyes They may not open What if they open Would you be alive
Everyone falls But not everyone rises Why don't you get up And rise again for me
chorus
What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap What if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes and blink again for me (for me, yeah, for me)
What about friendship What about friends You said the whole world was against you And it all had to end
What about love What about family What about all that you have to live for
What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap What if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes and blink again for me (for me)
It isn't easy here without you Why did you leave me What am I supposed to do (without you)
What if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes~ And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you stop crying or would you take the leap And what if the world were a little more perfect Would you open your eyes And blink again for me (for me, for me)
I guess I'll never see you again I guess our everything is an end And all you have to do is say my name But Baby, if you tried to now It would only cause me pain
I guess these memories aren't my friend I thought these memories wouldn't end And all this equity I've built to be with you It's just gone all to waste 'Cause you don't want to face the truth
I love you but you don't love me All I want to know Is if you're sitting at home just like me You've sent me, boy, you've rent me down So Down
The phone ain't ringing here any more My best friend, that's what you were for But are you waiting silently like me Just pretending you don't care any Are you doing that to me?
Chorus
I guess I'll never see you again I guess our everything is an end
I woke up too early this morning Just staring at the wall Thinking why don't I just lay here and just not get up at all? But then you pull me close beside you It's so hard to let you go And I breathe
I don't want to go Don't wake me up I want to stay beside you for as long as I want Don't let me go I want to see you tomorrow
So I turn around to face you To see if you're awake And my heart is tearing up inside and I know I cannot take the time To listen to your heartbeat It's a choice I have to make And I breathe
Chorus
So I turn around to face you And my heart is tearing up inside
