  • You got a face not spoiled by beauty
    I have some scars from where I've been
    You've got eyes that can see right through me
    You're not afraid of anything they've seen

    I was told that I would feel nothing the first time
    I don't know how these cuts heal
    But in you I found a rhyme

    If there is a light you can't always see
    And there is a world we can't always be
    If there is a dark that we shouldn't doubt
    And there is a light, don't let it go out

    And this is a song, a song for someone
    This is a song, a song for someone

    You let me in to a conversation
    A conversation only we could make
    You break and enter my imagination
    Whatever's in there, it's yours to take

    I was told I'd feel nothing the first time
    You were slow to heal
    But this could be the night

    If there is a light you can't always see
    And there is a world we can't always be
    If there is a dark within and without
    And there is a light, don't let it go out

    And this is a song, a song for someone
    This is a song, this is a song for someone

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    And I'm a long, long way from your hill of Calvary
    And I'm a long way from where I was, where I need to be

    If there is a light you can't always see
    And there is a world we can't always be
    If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
    And there is a light, don't let it go out Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
