Let's not start a scene
Before I can come clean
I need to know what everybody here expects of me
'Cos every day I feel
You're putting up a shield
I need you here to find a way to get to what is real
We've all got things to say
So let's take them day by day
There's really nothing else I'd rather do
What's been on your mind
Oh I'm only trying to find
What's hidden on the other side of you
Further down the road
I'd like to get to know
The secrets that you keep inside you everywhere you go
'Cos you kick and scream, you shout
But you won't say what about
And worst of all it's hard to care when you're so full of doubt
I try the best I can
But I still don't understand
I'm feeling like I've nothing left to lose
I just want what I've earned
But you give me no return
And I'm left standing on the other side of you
Every time I try to bring you closer
A little bit closer, you hold back
The bonds I've tried to build, they all have rusted
Because trust is what you lack
They said her hands were tied
But I still... I had to try
They warned me that I'd only end up blue
I was hoping they were wrong
Though I'd known it all along
I'd never reach the other side of you
But if you need to find me
Though that would surprise me
You know exactly where I'll be
Sitting outside on the backyard bench
'Cos home is where that party is...
And I'm not invited
