Lyrics:

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.
