| We have done everything to hurt
|
| The other in this war without a word
|
| We have fought for things that hardly were
|
| Worth thinking about, so why don’t you prefer
|
| To break the silence
|
| And put the weapons down
|
| We can talk it over — still
|
| Somehow we seem to have dislearned
|
| To communicate, and that’s why we have turned
|
| To a form of silent conversation
|
| That led us straight into alienation
|
| I almost can’t believe
|
| That this is us, still you and me
|
| That we just don’t speak no more
|
| What happened to the ones
|
| We have been before?
|
| Sometimes we just don’t understand
|
| That the stone we kick away
|
| Is a precious diamond 'til it’s gone
|
| Sometimes we have to speak our mind
|
| Just to get the proof
|
| That there never is a simple truth
|
| If you had let me be the one I am
|
| If I had let you be the one you are
|
| If we both had sometimes tried to understand
|
| Certainly it would never have come that far
|
| I almost can’t believe
|
| That this is us, still you and me
|
| That we sit right here
|
| With our lips sealed tight
|
| Instead of speaking it out
|
| To make everything turn out right
|
| Sometimes we just don’t understand
|
| That the stone we kick away
|
| Is a precious diamond 'til it’s gone
|
| Sometimes we have to speak our mind
|
| Just to get the proof
|
| That there never is a simple truth
|
| Well, I know
|
| For you it’s perfectly clear
|
| What is going on here
|
| That’s your simple truth
|
| Don’t you know
|
| I’ve got my own point of view
|
| That might be just as true
|
| As your simple truth
|
| So turn around and open up your mouth
|
| And speak your mind
|
| I almost can’t believe
|
| That this is us, still you and me
|
| We could make it right
|
| Or break it up instead
|
| But anyway we should not forget
|
| We never know what we’ll find
|
| But we know what we leave behind
|
| Sometimes we just don’t understand
|
| That the stone we kick away
|
| Is a precious diamond 'til it’s gone
|
| Sometimes we have to speak our mind
|
| Just to get the proof
|
| That there never is a simple truth |
