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.
