We have done everything to hurt

The other in this war without a word

We have fought for things that hardly were

Worth thinking about, so why don't you prefer

To break the silence

And put the weapons down

We can talk it over - still



Somehow we seem to have dislearned

To communicate, and that's why we have turned

To a form of silent conversation

That led us straight into alienation



I almost can't believe

That this is us, still you and me

That we just don't speak no more

What happened to the ones

We have been before ?



Sometimes we just don't understand

That the stone we kick away

Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone



Sometimes we have to speak our mind

Just to get the proof

That there never is a simple truth



If you had let me be the one I am

If I had let you be the one you are

If we both had sometimes tried to understand

Certainly it would never have come that far



I almost can't believe

That this is us, still you and me

That we sit right here

With our lips sealed tight

Instead of speaking it out

To make everything turn out right



Sometimes we just don't understand

That the stone we kick away

Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone



Sometimes we have to speak our mind

Just to get the proof

That there never is a simple truth



Well, I know

For you it's perfectly clear

What is going on here

That's your simple truth

Don't you know

I've got my own point of view

That might be just as true

As your simple truth

So turn around and open up your mouth

And speak your mind



I almost can't believe

That this is us, still you and me

We could make it right

Or break it up instead

But anyway we should not forget

We never know what we'll find

But we know what we leave behind



Sometimes we just don't understand

That the stone we kick away

Is a precious diamond 'til it's gone



Sometimes we have to speak our mind

Just to get the proof

That there never is a simple truth
