Hey there Look in the mirror Are you afraid you might see me looking at you Waiting, waiting at windows Oh it's me that you need Yes it's me and I'm waiting for you But I remain silent Oh I won't say a word I leave you to realize I'm the light in your world And it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you're needing It's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you need Yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me If you want to be living I'm the one who's forgiving Admit that it's me that you need Watching, watching the swallows fly It all means the same Just like them You can fly home again But don't, no don't forget yesterday Pride is an ugly word girl And you still know my name
