The eyes can't hide
What's running through the mind
When love begins to die
It yields the tears we cry
Behind a smile
Could be a struggling lie
And though we try so hard
We just can't fake it
But why do we allow
Somebody to step in?
Though they can't read
Between the lines
When we are hurting
I don't want to cry aloud
I want him to be the one to know
That I'm in pain and
He's the one to blame
I want him to figure out
It's all about discerning what is real
What I truly feel
To see the meaning
Knowing what's within
He holds my hand
But never understands
Embracing me is coldness
He's too numb to feel
If I convey
The things I have to say
I thinks I'll only make a fool
Of myself
But why do we allow
Somebody to step in?
Though they can't read
Between the lines
When we are hurting
I don't want to cry aloud
I want him to be the one to know
That I'm in pain and
He's the one to blame
I want him to figure out
It's all about discerning what is real
What I truly feel
To see the meaning
Knowing what's within
When he starts to see
These tears inside of me
Then I'll believe
That he perceives
Just what's within
What's within
