The Other Side of Me

You think you know me pretty well

But how can you tell

You never get inside my head

The times we talk

We never speak

We play hide and seek

So many things are left unsaid

Why can't you see

What's on the other side of me?

The side of me

That reaches out to you

Sweet thoughts and dreams

Like drops of rain on rippling streams

That wind and bend

Rivers with no end

Flowing on the other side of me

It seems I always get unstrung

I trip on my tongue

With words that come out something else

I'm so afraid the things I say

Might chase you away

I have to hide behind myself

Why can't you see

What's on the other side of me

The side of me

That reaches out to you

Why must I hide

These feelings that have been denied?

Only you can set me free

See what's on the other side of me

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-la

I have to hide behind myself

Why can't you see

What's on the other side of me?

The side of me

That reaches out to you

Why must I hide

These feelings that have been denied?

Only you can set me free

See what's on the other side of me

On the other side of me

On the other side of me
