Here I am in silence Looking round without a clue I find myself along again All alone with you I can see behind your eyes The things that I don't know If you hide away from me How can our love grow I wanna know What you're thinking There are some things you can't hide I wanna know What you're feeling Tell me what's on your mind I know I could break you down But what good would it do I could surely never know That what you say is true Here I am in silence It's a game I have to play You and I in silence With nothing else to say I wanna know What you're thinking There are some things you can't hide I wanna know What you're feeling Tell me what's on your mind I wanna know What you're thinking There are some things you can't hide I wanna know What you're feeling Tell me what's on your mind I wanna know What you're thinking There are some things you can't hide I wanna know What you're feeling Tell me what's on your mind
