hear me

Hear me, oh hear me
This is no voice of an angel

See me, oh see me
There’s not a mountain I can serve

Feel me, oh feel me
Do you dare to touch my soul

Find me, oh find me
A silent place that I deserve

There’s that little place
Well I can’t take you there
There’s that secret place
That I can’t bare to share
There’s that tragic face
That takes us to despair
We are there

he loves you all the same

It’s pathetically green with a hint of yellow at the seam
and I’m hoping you can smile threw these odds
It’s cold in here but it’s not what it seems and I’m wondering if you’ve given it any thought

He's still standing there with his heart on his sleeve
And he’s waiting patiently, he’s waiting patiently
He screams at me while hearts beat like a butterfly
While the sadness of your soul will follow you till you die
But he loves you all the same
Ya he loves you all the same

It’s probably not how it seems, when you give it all you’ve got,
it’s all you could do against your odds
And what you know is simply all you forgot, hiding the truth in your heart

You left him standing there with his heart on his sleeve
And he’s waiting patiently, he’s waiting patiently
He screams at me while hearts beat like a butterfly
The darkness of your soul will follow you till you die
But he loves you all the same
Ya he loves you all the same

It’s hard to say these things, without laying the blame, we did what we had to do against all odds
It’s hard to say if anything really could have changed, when reality was lost in our thoughts

We left him standing there
With his heart on his sleeve
And he’s waiting patiently
He’s waiting patiently

He screams at me while hearts beat like a butterfly
While the sadness of my soul will follow me till I die
And he love me all the same
And he love me all the same
