Those words
You're blind
You just don't know it
For you there's just the cold
just that mass of voices
If you knew how close I was to you
I can touch your hand right now
But I'm scared you'll panic
I can take some steps back
and raise my voice
Let the words fall out
Those words
You know which
No, that's bad
Those are worth a lot
And I've got to protect what I've got
I can't risk them getting lost
Even if I could open your eyes
Somehow show you what life can be
You wouldn't believe me
Because you don't know
Your worth, your power, your influence
You might know if you could see it
But you're blind
You just don't know it
You just don't know it
For you there's just the cold
just that mass of voices
If you knew how close I was to you
I can touch your hand right now
But I'm scared you'll panic
I can take some steps back
and raise my voice
Let the words fall out
Those words
You know which
No, that's bad
Those are worth a lot
And I've got to protect what I've got
I can't risk them getting lost
Even if I could open your eyes
Somehow show you what life can be
You wouldn't believe me
Because you don't know
Your worth, your power, your influence
You might know if you could see it
But you're blind
You just don't know it
