the other side of D...my life in private

you don't know me
only who I show
it's my vain attempt at beauty
disguised as an inner glow
you see only what you want
you don't know who's inside
let me know what you're looking for
so I know which parts to hide

I don't want you
But you’re so close to what I need
I always know what to say
but I’m finding it hard to breathe
and I don't know where I’m going
if I’ll fall forward or behind
I only know tonight
and tonight you're on my mind

I want you to be wrong
About this being right
If only you were someone else
I could forget about tonight
You ask 'what happens when we die'?
I tell you what you're thinking
I read your stories again twice
You ask to hear my singing

I don't want you
But you’re so close to what I need
I always know what to say
but I’m finding it hard to breathe
and I don't know where I’m going
if I’ll fall forward or behind
I only know tonight
and tonight you're on my mind

inhale the smoke your breathe comes out I want you home I want you now it's hard to know which way this goes I want it both I hope this grows

I don't know where you came from
Or who you think you are
I’ve known you for what seems like minutes
But you're stuck here like a scar
And now I take a cautious step
In to the deep end of the pool
Hoping that when you see who I am
You’ll still think I’m kind of cool

I know you will and that's okay
Alright so that's a lie
I hope its wrong I’m scared it is
I’m scared one day you’ll make me cry
I tell you I’m an open book
You wonder if that's true
You think we’re on a different page
But you’re wrong, I feel it too

I don't want you
But you’re so close to what I need
I always know what to say
but I’m finding it hard to breathe
and I don't know where I’m going
if I’ll fall forward or behind
I only know tonight
and tonight you're on my mind
