I know something's wrong,
'Cause your staring out the window,
And your one word answers give it all away,
If you can read my face,
I'm lost in outer space,
And I'm looking for a clue to bring me back to you.

'Cause we both feel the pain,
We just say it different ways,
Hear my heart before you hear my lips.
'Cause I can't win this game,
If I don't know how to play.
Don't give up just try and understand,
I'm doing the best I can.

I know its been hard,
And you get so frustrated,
Looking for a reason or a rhyme to how I think,
I don't know how to help,
So I'll repeat myself,
I hope the words will come out, different everytime.

'Cause we both feel the pain,
We just say it different ways,
Hear my heart before you hear my lips.
'Cause I can't win this game,
If I don't know how to play.
Don't give up just try and understand,
I'm doing the best I can.

Love will turn you into things you never thought you'd be.
And love will make you look at things you didn't want to see.
I know that it feels just like we're drifting out to sea.
But love is holding on, and all the world is doubting having you believe.

'Cause we both feel the pain,
We just say it different ways,
Hear my heart before you hear my lips.
'Cause I can't win this game,
If I don't know how to play.
Don't give up just try and understand,
I'm doing the best I can.
