you stood there
watching me
wondering, wondering
and I stood behind
an average face
quivering
I’ve always wanted to see
the other side of me
and it’s okay
if you don’t understand
what I mean
I took a walk
and I didn’t look behind
because I didn’t want to see
just what you wanted me to
how dare you leave me breathless
on this road, quivering
these words I sing are meaningless
and they leave me quivering
quivering
and when you asked me
I said
more than you wanted me to
I took a walk
and I didn’t look behind
because I wouldn’t let you see
what you mean to me
how dare you leave me breathless
on this stage, quivering
these words I sing are meaningless
and they leave me quivering
quivering
more than you wanted me to
