Man of Mystery
I don't have a hope of understanding you
You are so different than you appear
The reality and the image are separated
By more than just a dream
I'll never know what you are thinking
Your thoughts are shrouded by a veil
That keeps the true you from me
Why won't you let me in?
Your face is covered by a blank mask
I can tell the wheels are turning
You never speak of your real feelings
You're a man of mystery to me
I pray that you'll tell me when you're ready
That you'll let me get close to you
For no matter how good it seems
Perfection remains out of our grasp
I wonder if we'll ever find it
If I can't understand you
If I can't know you
How can we truly be together?
