Lyrics

Lyrics: Mark Carson
Music: Mark Carson/Timmy Baudier


You never seen my other face
That I have kept so far away
Where there is not a shade of grey
When I'm dreaming of you

But there'd be so much hell to pay
If you could see my other face
But that's exactly what I want to do

Well I know that yours is closer to another's
And I'm sure that it will break my heart in two
But I wish that I could find another place
To show my other face to you

My mind is saying to delay
But I don't want to pine away
Another lonely lifetime, when you're standing over there

But when I look into your eyes
I still am prone to compromise
`Cause there is so much room for more despair

Well I know you never asked me for a promise
And I know we never talked of being two
But I wish that I could find another place
To show my other face to you

And my heart is getting heavy as my knees are getting weak
As I slowly bang my head against the wall
As you throw a tender smile my way it pushes me to speak
But it's another face you're looking for
