Church - Tear It All Away lyrics

rate me

People say to see is to believe<br />

Then they just believe in that they can perceive<br />

What they see is not the total view<br />

Filtered between the me and you<br />

Ah, but I'm trying so hard<br />

Just to tell you I care<br />

And I've wanted so long, to tear this all away<br />

Tear it all away<br />

People say well you just had to be there<br />

And all the time you know they've never been there<br />

And it makes me sad to sit and think<br />

Of all those empty souls nearly at the brink<br />

Ah, but I'm trying so hard<br />

Just to keep to myself<br />

The things that I hope will tear it all away<br />

Tear it all away<br />

People grow up and learn to drive some car<br />

But I did that and it doesn't get you far<br />

The things you want are never to be found<br />

And in the end it's all some running round<br />

Ah, but I'm trying so hard<br />

Just to open my eyes<br />

To seeing some things that tear it all away<br />

Tear it all away<br />

I thought you would know<br />

I thought you would know<br />

People say they think that they are sure<br />

But they turn away and don't go back no more<br />

What they saw was not a perfect sight<br />

Just their own face reflected in the night<br />

Ah, but I'm trying so hard<br />

Just to tell you it's now<br />

And I'm gonna keep on trying<br />

To tear it all away
