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
