If you could only see yourself, the way I see you Would your world remain a stage, or would it break you Is it you or someone else, who chose to stay inside your universe And hid behind the mask you wear again I hope you find yourself, out there I hope you see yourself somewhere And when the conversation's thin and growing shallow You put on your plastic grin, and they will swallow Well is it you or someone else, without a friend No one gets to know you while you hide behind the mask you wear again Just how many lessons can you learn, until the show down Just how many bridges can you burn? Burn them all Don't count on me to be there when you fall, out there If you could see yourself out there Just how many bridges burned, just how many lessons learned Just how many bridges burned out there, out there If you could only see yourself the way I see you There'll be nothing left to say
