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.
