Otherwise Lyrics

I sit with you in an Italian restaurant
Ready to take on the world
Knowing for a while the rules of acceptance
Forever becomes the word
And I love you
It's a cheap consolation'Cause we lie
Yeah, we hide
No, we never confront
We just stare from side to the other
Always running from the cover ofIf I can see you
And I can read you
To know what's on your mind
Then I would help you
If I could reach you
I can sit by watching the silence in your eyesYou walk away, I don't ask why
I know what's coming
The fault's not only mine
Forever could never be what it was

Being with you, the suspicions come around'Cause we lie
Yeah, we hide
No, we never confront
We just stare from side to the other
Always running from the cover ofIf I can see you
And I can read you
To know what's on your mind
Then I would help you
If I could reach you
I can sit by watching the silence in your eyesWell if you're leaving me behind
Why the throwing?
Break the line
Leave my share
Just leave my lifeWe lie and we hide
No, we never confront
We just stare from side to the other
Always running from the cover ofIf I can see you
And I can read you
To know what's on your mind
Then I would help you
If I could reach you
I can sit by watching the silence in your eyesThe silence in your eyes
The silence in your eyes
The silence in your eyes
