  • Standing there before you / defences thrown aside / I thought I heard you laughing / but
    When I asked you said you'd cried / I wanted to believe you / yes I wanted to feel strong
    / but looking at my picture / I realised I must be wrong / sounds so weak / it sounds so
    Fey / it doesn't sound / like what I meant to say / I speak to you / with a borrowed
    Tongue / shall I stop right now / or blindly carry on? / choose one [? ] / but I'm not
    Everyone / I only have one viewpoint / don't talk to me of right or wrong / and didn't I
    Often tell you / oh didn't I often say / that something in your manner / that really takes
    My breath away? / it's not weak / to show I care / I know of those / who wouldn't even
    Bear / the fact remains / I feel a need / is it love / or is it simply greed? / it's not
    Weak / to show I care / I know of those / who wouldn't even bear / the fact remains / I
    Feel a need / is it love / or is it simply greed? / you choose what you believe in / as
    Far as I'm concerned / but one thing I can tell you / is innocence cannot be learned / I
    Wish you'd stop me talking / oh I wish you'd shut my mouth / well the reason why I tell
    You / is I think that you could help me out / and if you do then there's no doubt / that
    All my problems won't just fly away.
