VERSE 1 What do you see when you look at me I wonder what goes through your mind What do you hear when you talk to me Do you think before speaking each time Do you ever stop and wonder What your words leave behind Do you ever even notice The confusion in my eyes CHORUS Sad eyes, broken dreams Tears that you have caused Hurt cuts into my heart Like a double edged sword Wounded love holding on When there's nowhere else to be Locked away behind the walls Just hoping you might see VERSE 2 I notice when I talk to you My words fall on deaf ears Falling away to nothingness Like the past few years Moments all reminiscent Of a life lived out so long Doing the familiar things That never seemed so wrong BRIDGE You worked hard all your life Walking the path you laid But I wonder if you ever thought About the memories you made The souls left beside the road When they didn't fit no more Only one truth lived in your eyes And that's the one you saw CHORUS Sad eyes, broken dreams Tears that you have caused Hurt cuts into my heart Like a double edged sword Wounded love holding on When there's nowhere else to be Locked away behind the walls Just hoping you might see VERSE 3 This life could be so wonderful But we are just worlds apart I wonder if I ever saw The real you from the start Maybe age has just caught up And I look through wiser eyes Into the depths of my soul And I see where my truth lies OUTRO A sadness settles in my heart As you slowly pull away I try to see beyond the bars Of the prison I have made Mmmm mmmm ---------------- I held onto what could never be And lost myself ---- Along the way
