so say it cause you started it
oh don't you dare hide this
even if you think that what comes out
will make me sad,
say it cause you started it
i know you won't leave me
dreaming about a mystery
but once the words settle in the air
it's my place to be the one who cares
and i know that i don't see things
like you do
and you know that i'm still trying
to influence you
sleep on it
and maybe someday when you wake
those bright eyes
will see the light of day
everybody feels insecure
about one thing or another
some don't know how to channel
their pain
so their drowning themselves
in the rain
and i know you don't love yourself
you're dreaming about
the life you need
but please let me remind you
each day brings the choice to change
and i know that i don't see things
like you do
and you know that i'm still trying
to influence you
sleep on it
and maybe someday when you wake
those bright eyes
will see the light of day
it gets easier with practice
it gets easier with time
your light will shine through
your light will shine through
your light will shine
sleep on it
and maybe someday when you wake
those bright eyes
will see the light of day
so say it cause you started it
oh don't you dare hide this
your light will shine on through
and i know you won't leave me
dreaming about a mystery
but once the words settle in the air
it's my place to be the one who cares
