The Church - Tear It All Away lyrics

People say to see is to believe Then they just believe in that they can perceive What they see is not the total view Filtered between the me and you Ah, but i'm trying so hard Just to tell you i care And i've wanted so long, to tear this all away Tear it all away People say well you just had to be there And all the time you know they've never been there And it makes me sad to sit and think Of all those empty souls nearly at the brink Ah, but i'm trying so hard Just to keep to myself The things that i hope will tear it all away Tear it all away People grow up and learn to drive some car But i did that and it doesn't get you far The things you want are never to be found And in the end it's all some running round Ah, but i'm trying so hard Just to open my eyes To seeing some things that tear it all away Tear it all away I thought you would know I thought you would know People say they think that they are sure But they turn away and don't go back no more What they saw was not a perfect sight Just their own face reflected in the night Ah, but i'm trying so hard Just to tell you it's now And i'm gonna keep on trying To tear it all away
