Now the moon lights up your face, I can see you're crying
you never liked me to see you cry, it's true,
I've done some crying too.
Though the hardest part about it is trying to hide it from you.
It would be great to be so strong, never needed anybody else
to get along. But we're so scared of the silence and the tricks that
we use. Oh we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised.
I don't wanna lie about it, I'm not bulletproof.
I finally found a way to hide from all your glances
till the waiting game we play is through. I can, but what's the use
when all I really want to do is hide out with you.
It would be great to be so strong, you never needed
anybody's help to get along. We're so scared of the silence
and the language that we use. Oh we're careful and we're
cunning, but we're easily bruised.
I don't wanna kid about it, I'm not bulletproof.
Tell me one more time again, I guess I didn't hear you
I don't know all the secrets that you keep inside. I tried the
same thing too, but they all come pouring out of me when I'm talking
to you. It would be great to be so strong, you never
needed anybody else to help to carry on, but I'm not waking up each
morning with forgiveness I can use.
No I'm careless and I'm cruel, but I'm still easily bruised
I'm so tired of lying about it, I'm not bulletproof. No, and I'm
not going to lie about it, I'm not bulletproof.
