Strange, stranger than paradise
Water is turning into ice
Don't have to say it's over
You heard me saying that I don't want to stay around
And like a sleight of hand, you're lost while I am found
Oh-whoa...
Love starting to play the game
Something was said to hide the pain
Something is changing how I feel
I don't think you see me as I am
Starting is easy I have found
In planting a seed you touch the ground
But planting the seed doesn't make it grow
I owe an explanation, you owe an open mind
But when we're both upset, the words are so unkind
I want to run away or cut you down to size
I don't think I can keep tears from my eyes
You told me all your dreams, I still believe in you
But I've got my dreams, too, and I have got to go
You know this gets me down
How can you watch me turn around
Why does my leaving break your heart
I don't think you see me as I am
Starting is easy I have found
In planting a seed you touch the ground
But planting the seed doesn't make it grow
I owe an explanation, you owe an open mind
But when we're both upset, the words are so unkind
I want to run away or cut you down to size
I don't think I can keep tears from my eyes
You told me all your dreams, I still believe in you
But I've got my dreams, too, and I have got to go
Oh, I owe an explanation, you owe an open mind
But when we're both upset, the words are so unkind
I want to run away or cut you down to size
I don't think I can keep tears from my eyes
I owe an explanation, you owe an open mind
(Though I can't say)
But when we're both upset, the words are so unkind
(I know goodbye's the only way)
I want to run away or cut you down to size
(I try to hide)
I don't think I can keep tears from my eyes
(But every single day)
You told me all your dreams, I still believe in you
(I know goodbye)
But I've got my dreams, too, and I have got to go
(Goodbye's the only way)
Oh-whoa...
