There is nothing you could say, that would change the way I feel
I've been settled in my ways, so don't try to spin your will
I have traveled miles, a personal exile
For so long I was blind, couldn't give up my pride
Now I read between the lines
(Read between the lines)
And the years have passed me by
(Years have passed me by)
If you can stay on my side, we both can be set free
Otherwise just let me be
I see trouble in my way, just like a bird of prey
Facing hard times night and day, you know they won't discourage me
I have traveled miles, a personal exile
For so long I was blind, couldn't give up my pride
Now I read between the lines
(Read between the lines)
And the years have passed me by
(Years have passed me by)
If you can stay on my side, we both can be set free
Otherwise just let me be
Now I read between the lines
(Read between the lines)
And the years have passed me by
(Years have passed me by)
If you can stay on my side, we both can be set free
Otherwise just let me, let me
Let me be, yeah!
