here i am looking out looking in 

my eyes are open my mind's closed tight 

i believe i know i need to let go 

and i know i'm wrong but i think i'm right 

so i shut you out 

and hear what i want to hear 

and hide in my opinions 

afraid to face my fear 

face the fear 



there you are reaching in reaching out 

your arms are open, your heart's closed tight 

you believe you know you have to let go 

and you think you won't but you know you might 

so you close your eyes 

and pretend you're no here 

and hide in your secrets 

afraid to face your fear 

face the fear 



and you close your eyes 

i hear what i want to hear 

and we hide in our suspicions 

afraid to face the fear 

face the fear 



and i shut you out 

you pretend you're not here 

and we hide in our loneliness 

afraid to face the fear 

face the fear 



here we are looking in reaching out 

together and alone 

facing the fear we're afraid to show 

facing the fear of letting go
