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 somethin' 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
