here i am looking out looking in

my eyes are open my mind's closed tight

i believe i know i need to let go

and i know i'm wrong but i think i'm right

so i shut you out

and hear what i want to hear

and hide in my opinions

afraid to face my fear

face the fear



there you are reaching in reaching out

your arms are open, your heart's closed tight

you believe you know you have to let go

and you think you won't but you know you might

so you close your eyes

and pretend you're no here

and hide in your secrets

afraid to face your fear

face the fear



and you close your eyes

i hear what i want to hear

and we hide in our suspicions

afraid to face the fear

face the fear



and i shut you out

you pretend you're not here

and we hide in our loneliness

afraid to face the fear

face the fear



here we are looking in reaching out

together and alone

facing the fear we're afraid to show

facing the fear of letting go
