Nobody Gets Inside

from WHAT DO YOU DREAM by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

So here I am again my love, it's hard I don't pretend
I can't remember when it was I talked with you my friend
So many times I hurt you, opened wounds that just won't mend
And you take it all so gracefully but it's hard, I don't pretend.

You lie here close beside me and I listen to you breathe
You seem to sleep quite peacefully, like there's nothing you don't need
And as I lay there with you, I can't help but wonder if
That somewhere deep inside someday you'll miss what I can't give.

The first time that I saw you, I met you in a dream
I dreamt I was the king of men, and you, you were my queen
And you stood there beaming brightly with your sweet affectious smile
And you looked like such a lady and I felt like just a child

Then you threw your arms around me, there and then I realised
That destiny's been written when I looked into your eyes
And I fell so much in love with you, my heart felt so exposed
And I can't remember ever when somebody came so close

Chorus
I'm lying in a river and the water is too high
And I'm drowning from my feelings and for help I cannot cry
And I see you there beside me with your arms stretched open wide
And I cannot let you close because nobody gets inside.

So you look on me with empathy, you're emotionally concerned
As you try to mend the pieces to the bridges that's been burned
And I sit there feeling so afraid, all paralyzed with fear
For you end up hurting those you love, the ones you hold so dear.

And now you know the truth of it, I cannot to you lie
We've been through this before and I hate to see you cry
But it gets so frustrating never knowing where to begin
Though the mind is always open, yet the heart is trapped within.

Chorus
