Simple words might influence your view



But I can save your life if you allow me to



Remember the time right before you became



Something too despicable to even name?



I can relate, I went through that stage too



And I hope you're still around when you're 22



('cause) Nothing really matters--but yourself (x2)



Simple words might often miss the point



But here's two words you better not ignore



Do you really believe that any man is an island



Will if you do then you're about to be stranded, man



Nothing...



BRIDGE



Give another person just half a chance



To express himself



It's easy to believe



Believe in something other--than yourself (x2)



You wrote a letter (I)



But I knew better (you)



You can clearly (see)



Just what the effect is



Will you ever (be)



Be together (oh)



Enough to tell me (why)



Why does this have to happen to anyone?



Nothing...



BRIDGE



Simple words are often misconstrued



But occasionally somebody's advice is worth listening to



I've stated my case, now I'll return to my place



But there will come a day when black marks won't erase



Nothing...



BRIDGE



Believe...
