Lyrics
Half of me wants you to stay,
Half of me thinks I'd be lonelier that way,
You gave me your hand for a start,
But what good is your touch
if I can't have your heart
(but you don't see that)
There's a light in your eyes but it's not for me.
There's a light in your eyes but it's not for me.
If half of what you say is truth,
I could be half-way happy without any proof.
You see I can't see what you tell,
But when you see through me
you see someone else.
(but you don't see it)
(Chorus)
I don't know if you can tell that I can tell that you don't know that I don't know if you can tell that I can tell that you don't know
Half of you wants me to stay,
Half of you knows you'd be lonelier that way.
You feel something missing in me,
But you're afraid to take flight
and you're afraid to be free.
(just fly away dear)
(Chorus)
