through another late night confession
|
told to a captive audience
|
and YOU listen with your ear to the door
|
waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
|
like open secrets overheard
|
through the cracks in the wall
|
|
with calculated candor YOU play the part
|
of a trusted confidant
|
moving closer for a better view
|
looking for more than eyes can see
|
on the tattered pages
|
of an open diary
|
|
if YOU want to know
|
just what I see
|
look at yourself
|
and don't ask me
|
and if YOU want to know
|
where we're going
|
keep your distance
|
and don't follow me
|
|
like an old friend with nothing left to say
|
you'll find i'm not who YOU thought i'd be
|
as YOU contemplate the silence
|
waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall
|
from the still uncertain heart
|
that beats behind the wall
|
|
if YOU want to know
|
just what I see
|
look at yourself
|
and don't ask me
|
and if YOU want to know
|
where we're going
|
keep your distance
|
and don't follow me
|
|
if YOU want to know
|
just what I see
|
look at yourself
|
and don't ask me
|
and if YOU want to know
|
where we're going
|
keep your distance
|
and don't follow me
|
|
if YOU want to know
|
just what I see
|
look at yourself
|
and don't follow me
|
