You ain't nothing but a hidden face

i am whatever you say i am | if i wasn't then why would i say i am

I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing | I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing

You love me in your sheltered way | And you're looking fair enough to me You just see what you want to see I want to know if you really care I want to take you way down there And stand in the rain and get you wet You say you love me but not quite yet I want to go out there to an open space Those tears to cry and show your face And I can't show you this inside If all you want to do is hide Sheltered from tomorrow As though it may never come You hide behind a wall of stone And then you feel you're not alone So face it all, it's here today You love me in your sheltered way

You wanted a piggyback Well I, I lost my spine | You wanted a piggyback Well I, I lost my spine And I dreamt of awful things Like company And physical interaction

I have a cry, and I will not be contained | Your vision's travelled far today So why don't you run away Your vision's travelled far today Like in the times when you say I have a cry, I have a cry, and I will not be contained

say say

say say

They say it's you, That washes the weary | And brings the night into the day If you won't notice, How can I show you All of you worries, Have all gone away

say you're with me now with all of your heart | It's hard to say forever love Forever's just so far It's hard to say forever love Forever's just so far It's hard to say forever love Forever's just so far Why don't you say you're with me now With all of your heart?
