[Verse 1] Ask me a question And I'll fill you full of lies I know now the truth is bigger than my disguise The message that I'd sent Was shot down long ago All I wanted was a simple yes But you said no [Chorus] You can't see my point of view You're too caught up in protecting you I'll put on a smile and wait just like I often do Then I'll make myself a promise, too [Verse 2] I need correspondence So please give to me an answer do Could you repeat that one more time so I believe it's true I've got a unique talent Of seeing things that other people can't I know your heart is shot full of holes from mistakes made in the past [Chorus] You can't see my point of view You're too caught up in protecting you I'll put on a smile and wait just like I often do You say we're friends, so I'll just guard my heart If I don't, you might tear me apart [Instrumental] [Bridge] Tear me apart I know you don't believe it But I could never do That to you How I wish that you could see it all From the eyes I look through [Chorus] But you can't see my point of view You're too caught up in protecting you I'll put on a smile and wait just like I often do You say we're friends so I'll just guard my heart If I don't, you might tear me apart [Outro] Tear me apart Tear me apart (You can't see my point of view) Tear me apart (You can't see my point of view)
