Lyrics

I don't want to lie to you
Pretend that things are perfect
But if I have to bend the truth
It's worth it just to be with you

Words that flash into my mind
Are better left unsaid
Keep them locked inside my head

If you could see through me
Where would I be?
Could I still expect you to trust me?
If you looked right through
What would you do?
Could you still find a reason to love me?

Spend ages on the way look
Pretend I didn't bother
We talk about your favourite book
I never read a single page

A shadow where it shouldn't be
A piece that's out of place
Flickering across my face

If you could see through me
Where would I be?
Could I still expect you to trust me?
If you looked right through
What would you do?
Could you still find a reason to love me?

One day you are sure to see
However well I hide it
That there's another side of me
That's dull not deep
Mean and cheap
Superficial, small and weak
Stubborn, selfish, indiscreet
Shake my fist and I stamp my feet
Hard to know and I'm hard to reach
Slow to learn and quick to preach
Nothing comes before myself
Just like everybody else

If you could see through me
Where would I be?
Could I still expect you to trust me?
If you looked right through
What would you do?
Could you still find a reason to love me?
If you looked inside
Where would I hide?
Do you think you could ever forgive me?
When I look at you
What would you do
Could you still find a reason to love me?

What would you do?
What would you do?
Would you still love me?
What would you do?
What would you do?
