Could you be the one they talk about? Hiding inside, behind another door? Is it only happiness you want? Does wanting a feeling matter any more? It doesn't mean that much to me Sometimes I don't mean that much to you And I don't even know what I'm hiding for And I don't even know what I'm crying for Don't even know what I'm hiding for Cry inside Cry inside Could you be the one they talk about? Life is a game that only you can make Maybe I'm about to throw it out I've given it all, that's all I can take It doesn't mean that much to me Sometimes I don't mean that much to you And I don't even know what I'm hiding for And I don't even know what I'm crying for I don't even know Well, could you be the one? Could you be the one? Could you be the one that's hanging all around? Don't even know what I'm crying for Don't even know what I'm hiding for Don't even try Hide and sigh And I don't even know what I'm crying for Don't even know what I'm hiding for Don't even know, could you be the only broken-hearted one? Could you be the one? Could you be the one? Could you be the one that's hanging all around? Don't even know I don't even know? Well, could you be the one? Could you be the one? Could you be the one? Could you be the one?
