You look them in the eye

To show them you're brave

But no one but me knows

That you're just a slave

To this part in the play

You never mean what you say



You come on so strong

You run with the hunt

You don't show what's behind

You don't show what's in front

And you do it to show

Someone you don't know

Like a bird on a limb

Starin' down at its toes

No song it could sing

No its voice it just froze

And the fear that you keep

Is bottled up there inside



CHORUS

And I see

Right through you

Right on through

But I know you see

Right through me too



Yo put on a good show

You act so in control

But you're laughin' too loud

At a joke no one told

You're not what you appear

You're just a ghost in the mirror



Sometims what you say

Yeah, you do for effect

You wanna show someone power

You wanna get some respect

But most times you don't know

Nothin' about it at all



CHORUS



I'm chippin' the rock

But it's tark in the mine

Don't look away now

You drive me outa my mind

But I try to get sure

I try to endure



The things that I wanted

So much outa you

A feelin' to share

A love that was true

Or maybe I just made it up



CHORUS
