What I See Inside of You Lyrics

A hint of a glance on a typical sunny day

The tiny reveal when you silently steal away

It's no one else's business

What you choose to keep inside

There's nothing to be done

By anyone

'Cause you've already tried

What I see inside of you

Could break my heart in spite of you

Things you think that no one can see

Are clear to me

It's all the things you never say

Emotions that you push away

Go hidden in the light of day

In corners where they need to stay

There's nothing to do

It had happened so long ago

A troubling question

An answer you'll never know

So every now and then

A shadow moves across your heart

A moment passes by and then

It's just a part of who you are

Your secret is safe on my word

It's not mine to tell

It's all of a piece with

Protecting a fragile shell

If once in every while

You catch a tender smile from me

It's all that I can do

I only wish that I could set you free

What I see inside of you

Could break my heart in spite of you

Things you think that no one can see

Are clear to me

It's all the things you never say

Emotions that you push away

Go hidden in the light of day

In corners where they need to stay

What I see inside of you
