What do you see in the middle of my words? Can I speak a blessing, yet you hear a curse What do you see in the middle of my words? Wings for the fall, air for the birds What do you see in the middle of my words? What do you hear, babe? Please talk to me, please explain What you're hearing, babe I don't want ghosts or thoughts of ghosts to haunt us, babe Yet I ask what's the matter and you turn away It won't matter if it's weightless And I don't want to cause stress So I'll sit within this mess We can process In the space between my words, I have hurt you Yet I'd fill up the sky if just to love you better In the shadows that you heard, a phantom caught you So help me shine a light and face your fears together What do you see, babe? Please show your face, please explain What you're seeing, babe I want what I meant and what you heard to be the same And I'll repent if I hurt you along the way It ain't wrong if we're not thinking quite the same I swear I'm not accusing you of anything I'm just trying to get us on the same page When I ask how you're feeling, you can say In the space between my words, I have hurt you In the shadows of my soul, you saw a man who scared you I'll fill up the sky to let you know how much I care for you And I will shine a light, we can face our fears, both old and new I'll give you wings when you fall and a rose when you rise 'Cause we won't be perfect, but I know we can get it right What do you see in the middle of my words? Can I speak a blessing, yet you hear a curse What do you see in the middle of my words? Wings for the fall, air for the birds What do you see in the middle of my words?
