Everybody's Problem

Standing there before you

Defences thrown aside

I thought I heard you laughing

But when I asked you said you'd cried

I wanted to believe you

Yes I wanted to feel strong

But looking at my picture

I realised I must be wrong

Sounds so weak

It sounds so fey

It doesn't sound

Like what I meant to say

I speak to you

With a borrowed tongue

Shall I stop right now

Or blindly carry on?

Choose one

But I'm not everyone

I only have one viewpoint

Don't talk to me of right or wrong

And didn't I often tell you

Oh didn't I often say

That something in your manner

That really takes my breath away?

It's not weak

To show I care

I know of those

Who wouldn't even bear

The fact remains

I feel a need

Is it love

Or is it simply greed?

It's not weak

To show I care

I know of those

Who wouldn't even bear

The fact remains

I feel a need

Is it love

Or is it simply greed?

You choose what you believe in

As far as I'm concerned

But one thing I can tell you

Is innocence cannot be learned

I wish you'd stop me talking

Oh I wish you'd shut my mouth

Well the reason why I tell you

Is I think that you could help me out

And if you do then there's no doubt

That all my problems won't just fly away
