Close my lips and bite my tongue
A tale of my design's begun
But you have never known my heart, have you?
You flash a smile, wink an eye
Nudge my side as she walks by
But you don't see her with my eyes, do you?
I don't think that you do…
It's not the world I see
Not the man I choose to be
And if you took the time,
You still couldn't define a single thing
‘Cause you haven't been listening
You know my age, you know my state
Upon it your assessments fate
Waiting to bestow your rate upon me
The line is drawn, the chord is struck
And in this cage you'd have me stuck
But you've only built around your thoughts and so…
You'll never really know
It's not the world I see
Not the man I choose to be
And if you took the time,
You still couldn't define a single thing
Cause you haven't been listening
