I've got an aching head Echoes and buzzing noises I know the words we said But wish I could've turned our voices down This is not black and white Only organize confusion I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible You didn't get your way And it's an empty feeling You've got a lot to say And you just want to know you're being heard But this is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible This is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible
