What's the point of your lies
to believe in something new
and though i know it's not
you say it's fine, sure it's fine
just a game played out by you
and the fools you've brought along
but when they meet the me you see
sooner or later, it just won't matter
�
when the me you say you see
is a stranger to you, keeping her own distance
sure indeed, she's a part of me
and a small part, too, making my own substance
like the lights that light the night
we can turn them off, and i can breathe in shadows
when the me that's really me
is alive and well, i wouldn't tell a thing
�
so show me what you know i need
i've been dying to come down
i do not blame you or tame you
turn from me, count to three
your hide and seek will not reveal
the sorrow that i feel
but should you find the me you see
sooner or later, you just might feel it
�
when the me you say you see
is a stranger to you, keeping her own distance
sure indeed, she's a part of me
and a small part, too, making my own substance
like the lights that light the night
we can turn them off, and i can breathe in shadows
when the me that's really me
is alive and well, i wouldn't tell it
�
do you really have to leave so soon
there's a call that you should take
you know the house you built
it's burning now, burning now
so sorry i wished it all away
you should have told me what to say
but when there's little left for me
sooner or later, oh well, whatever
�
when the me you say you see
is a stranger to you, keeping her own distance
sure indeed, she's a part of me
and a small part, too, making my own substance
like the lights that light the night
we can turn them off, and i can breathe in shadows
when the me i know as me
is alive and well, i wouldn't
i wouldn't tell it
i wouldn't tell a thing
�
when the me you say you see
is a stranger to you, keeping her own distance
so ok, it's a part you say,
i'm supposed to play, never mind the substance
but like the lights that light the night
we can turn them off
and i can breathe in shadows
i can breathe in shadows
