Every time we speak, our words betray intentions   Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart   So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses   Again rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart      Waiting out the worst, we keep the best inside us   In hopes our hearts can't hide us, in hopes our tears don't show   And you know we're not the first to try and breach the distance   And though we meet resistance, love between us grows      And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies   We could be sailing through each other's eyes   And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard   We see it never had to be this hard      Every time we speak our words betray intentions   Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart   So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses   Again rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart      And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies   We could be sailing through each other's eyes   And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard   We see it never had to be this hard
