Barriers

Searching through the memory books

Of photographs your lovers took

Why play the game of place the pain

When you end up feeling just the same anyway



Sleep comes so slowly now

So hard to keep the eyelids down

And you're hoping soon to drown the sound

Of a voice you know that whispers in your mind



Oh, it was a sad, sad day

The day you turned away

And there was nothing in your eye

You had told me once you found it impossible to cry



I know you've been there and back

I've been there too

But it was never really deep in you

To do those things you had to do



And in your sleepy bedroom eyes, I saw the signs

And I lay awake all night in the cold

Until the light burned my side

And there was nothing, there was nothing anymore



And there was nothing, not a feeling

As you glanced back from the door



Move away to find another place

That illustrates your point of view

Surrounded by the little things

That reassure, that reflect you



Ooh, and there was nothing

And there was nothing in my heart

And there was nothing in my head

The light in your eyes is changing all the time

And I still have your smile burned into my mind
