Can you hear me
Are you faraway and distracted
Or afraid of what I might say
'Cos I know your every move
I can see things
That you walk right through
And I listen to the lessons lost on you
In your race to escape the truth
But I would be the one to break you open
Make you come undone
And I would be the one to turn you over
Let you see what you’ve become
'Cos there’s something in you
That’s dyin’ to come alive
But you’re happy hanging on
Just getting by
Has it faded
Are you bored with the life you’ve created
Would you sacrifice yourself
To protect everything you own
'Cos it seems to me
That the more you have, the more you want
And the less you understand
How to love and let things go
But I would be the one to break you open
Make you come undone
And I would be the one to turn you over
Let you see what you’ve become
'Cos there’s something in you
That’s dyin’ to come alive
But you’re happy hanging on
Just getting by
'Cos it's easy to ignore
Till the walls around you shatter
And nothing seems to matter anymore
Now you’re stranded
But you’ll stand your ground
Empty-handed
'Cos it hurts to turn around
But I would be the one to break you open
Make you come undone
And I would be the one to turn you over
Let you see what you’ve become
'Cos there’s something in you
That’s dyin’ to come alive
But you’re happy hanging on
Just getting by
