You look them in the eye
To show them you're brave
But no one but me knows
That you're just a slave
To this part in the play
You never mean what you say
You come on so strong
You run with the hunt
You don't show what's behind
You don't show what's in front
And you do it to show
Someone you don't know
Like a bird on a limb
Starin' down at its toes
No song it could sing
No its voice it just froze
And the fear that you keep
Is bottled up there inside
CHORUS
And I see
Right through you
Right on through
But I know you see
Right through me too
Yo put on a good show
You act so in control
But you're laughin' too loud
At a joke no one told
You're not what you appear
You're just a ghost in the mirror
Sometims what you say
Yeah, you do for effect
You wanna show someone power
You wanna get some respect
But most times you don't know
Nothin' about it at all
CHORUS
I'm chippin' the rock
But it's tark in the mine
Don't look away now
You drive me outa my mind
But I try to get sure
I try to endure
The things that I wanted
So much outa you
A love that was true
Or maybe I just made it up
CHORUS
