Story behind the song
You know, don't you?
Lyrics
SHOW AND TELL VERSE Its really good to see your face In this old familiar place I really shouldnt come here any more Im going to leave without a trace Were not supposed to share this space I heard some people talking near the door Nothing goodll come from this Dreaming that I feel your kiss Even though Ive only seen it in your eyes If theres a place we could go Where no one else would ever know Id be there in a heartbeat, damn the lies CHORUS I wont let it show and Ill never tell The ones who think they know me well They dont know who I am when Im with you They think Im the man They can trust They wouldnt understand theyre not like us So I think I know now what I have to do VERSE I shouldnt even say these things Theres always trouble in the wings Every time that two hearts beat as one So tell me you dont want to know Tell me that I shouldnt go Tell me that tomorrow never comes Cause I couldnt stand the memory Of something that can never be I just cant pretend that Im that strong You could mean the world to me And they tell you that youre always free But dont you see - theyre wrong CHORUS I wont let it show and Ill never tell The ones who think they know me well They dont know who I am when Im with you They think Im the man They can trust They wouldnt understand theyre not like us So I think I know now what I have to do INSTRUMENTAL VERSE NO CHORUS VERSE Through the cold and lonely years Ill think about these moments here I hate to feel your hand slip from mine I dont want to go away I wish that I could always stay But I have to do whats right and walk the line Some dreams are written in the stars And others never get that far No matter how hard they fall they never learn They just wake up and try again You have to wonder why, but then Nothing really dies and everything returns CHORUS I wont let it show and Ill never tell The ones who think they know me well They dont know who I am when Im with you They think Im the man They can trust They wouldnt understand theyre not like us So I think I know now what I have to do
