You think you know me pretty well
But how can you tell
You never get inside my headThe times we talk, we never speak
We play hide and seek
So many things are left unsaidWhy can't you see
What's on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to youSweet thoughts and dreams
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
That wind and bend, rivers with no end
Flowing on the other side of meIt seems I always get unstrung
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out somethin' elseI'm so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away
I have to hide behind myselfWhy can't you see
What's on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to youWhy must I hide
These feelings that have been denied?
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of meLa la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
I have to hide behind myselfWhy can't you see
What's on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to youWhy must I hide
These feelings that have been denied?
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of meOn the other side of me
On the other side of me
