Tell me the secrets you dearly hold
They seem to take their toll
Sharing can help to you let it go
Can't let anger boil until it blows
I see action behind your eyes
Clearly a detached mind
It's piercing to deal with that silent type
Knowing your head's stuck in the crime
-chorus-
Lies don't look so good on you
Baby don't
Crash our moment
Lies don't let us swap shoes
You gotta know
We got a good thing going
Don't be afraid to lay it on me
Your hopes and your fears
We need to keep each other honest
Open hearts, open ears
Private burdens keep us lonely
Only cause confused tears
The good and the bad
Links us to our past
Dancing in the diction we arrange
Stances to block old ways
It's demanding to separate the shapes
Of smoke signals blown to spell our days
Standing in the back of my mind
A man screams "Make things right!"
So can we put down our pride
And show all the warmth that is inside
-chorus-
