I sit in silence, looking at watchs around,
everyone is talking, nobody's listening,
I sit in silence, not saying a word
I wonder how many other people are screaming
and not being heard,
when no one can see her, she lets down her guard,
cyring herself to sleep at night cause life can get to hard,
but everyday she wips the tears and puts a smile on,
and no one can tell that anything was wrong.
things aren't always the way they seem to be,
for the king of keeping things deep inside of me,
like the guy you know that always says that he's fine,
even when he's not and breaking down inside,
I know I'm not along, in feeling alone,
maybe things'll get better and we'll be home.
so many people watch their feet while they walk,
with so much to say but don't ever get a chance to talk,
and the world moves to fast
to notice people standing still,
I wish things would change
but don't know if they ever will
things aren't always the way they seem to be,

you thought by bein' with me you were doin' me a
favor, and for a while there was a time I believed you
but then I finally woke up and things became clear to me,
that what I got to do know is leave you.
sorry girl but I gotta say,
I must be gettin' on my way
cause I got someone else in mind
you are not for me, but I know who is
her eyes could make the sun rise,
her tears could make it fall,
I love my arms around her and the way we fit together,
her smile is perfect and her eyes are green,
she's the prettiest girlf I've ever seen
and I like the way she looks up at me.
you came back to me sayin' that things would be different,
but I just could not believe you,
you said "the old ways will stop"
and I'll be the only one for you,
but I just don't really want to

mr.man tryin' to get as much as he can,
the more money he makes the more lobster and steaks,
opportunity for the kids, security for the wife,
mr.man's lookin' to live the good life.
sees his wife and kids at home but he can't miss a call
on the telephone.
just to busy when he finds the time he notices
he's home alone,
had the good stuff put passed it up
alone in the lounge for the VIP's
tear drop in a paper cup
as he's walking away from the coffee machine
take off your roise glasses,
there are many more colors here to see
sometimes they can look dull and grey,
but you wouldn't want it any other way
young girl tryin' to find her place in the world,
has family and friends but wants to be in
with the cool kids, always in the spot light
this girls lookin' to live the good life
got a new style, a new boyfriend to love,
traded in her old life anyway she could think of
ditcehed the old for a faster crowd
thought she'd be better with the baddest guy in town
thought she found an answer in this guy
now alone in her room nursing a black eye
wondering "how'd it get so off track?"
wishing she had her old life back
take off your rosie glasses
there's many more colors here to see
sometimes they can look dull and grey
but you wouldn't want it any other way
you keep your eyes on the prize
you don't realize how time flys by
then time runs out and you forgot about
all the little things that were right there all the while
take of your rosie glasses
there's many more colors here to see
sometimes they can look dull and grey
but you wouldn't want it any other way...
another dime for the telephone booth won't help you will it,
it will only get you where you've already been so you can relive it,
advise is nice but the problem tends to linger,
a faster route is to let it out from under your finger.
leave it all behind
it's hard to say or find a way to put it in a letter,
but it's ok cause there's more than one way to feel better,
we could ride a speed boat on the lake
leaving your worries in the wake,
we could ride a rollercoaster all day long,
forgetting anything was ever wrong,
leave it all behind
sometimes it's better,
when your feelin' under the weather,
to leave it all behind,
so do me a favor,
we'll deal with it later,
but for now let's just have a good time and...
leave it all behind
you say you've got your issues
you've cried your way through the box of tissues,
you say you've had your share of pain,
you can't ante in for another game,
I know that your scared, you don't want to be hurt anymore
but what does it matter if your record is 0-4
you act like you got it all but I don't think you do,
cause I know I could be oh so good for you,
I see the lonliness in your eyes,
and you feel a place for me by your side,
so why don't you try me on for size,
so why don't you try on me.
don't be afraid of someone to take care of you,
someone to make you laugh and be there for you,
come on baby, don't be silly,
you say it's best to be along but is it really?
you don't want to go on like this,
you know you want someone to grow old with,
so come on baby don't pass me by
you don't want to miss the kinda lovin' that I supply
you act like you got it all but I don't think you do,
cause I know I could be oh so good for you
I see the lonliness in your eyes
and you feel a place for me by your side
so why don't you try me on for size,
so why don't you try on me
