I know there's more to you than you'll ever let me see.
They've got your love turned around and filled up with disbelief.
I see that part of you that you try to hide so well.
They don't see you crying out and they don't see the tears
they've been blinded by their holy verse to the point where they don't
care.
They judge your words, judge your life without ever judging theirs.
They tell you all you need, without ever asking you.
How can you just go along without ever asking why?
You don't have to fool yourself
I don't deny we all need some help
they turned your life into an ongoing show,
but I saw the life that disappeared, long ago.
You seem to want to find in me, some doubt or disbelief.
I know there's more to you than you'll ever let me see.
