Tell me one more time again just like I didn't hear you

Like I don't know what's going through your mind, I do

I play the same game too

I know it's hard to stop

Even when you want to



Now the moon lights up your face and I can see you're crying

You never liked me to see you cry, it's true

I've done some crying too

You know, the hardest part about it

Is trying to hide it from you



It would be great to be so strong

I never needed anybody's help to get along

But we're so scared of the silence and the tricks that we use

O, we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised

I don't want to lie about it, I'm not bulletproof



Well I finally found the way to hide from all your glances

Til the waiting game we play is through

I can, but what's the use

When all I really want to do is hide out with you?



It would be great to be so strong

You never needed anybody's help to get along

We're so scared of the silence and the language that we use

Yeah we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised

I don't wanna kid about it, I'm not bulletproof



Tell me one more time again I guess I didn't hear you

And I don't know all the secrets that you keep inside

I tried the same thing too

But they all come pouring out of me when I'm talking to you



It would be great to be so strong

You never needed anybody else's help to carry on

But I'm not waking up each morning with forgiveness I can use

No I'm careless and I'm cruel, but I'm still easily bruised

But I'm so tired of lying about it, I'm not bulletproof

No, and I'm not going to lie about it, I'm not bulletproof
