If You See Me

Tara Maclean If You See Me Lyrics
1.Calls To Nothing

Calls to nothing
There are no ears
Where echos would answer
I, naked and slipping.

Skin is pale and worthy
Wall, embracing the moon
That table fits that corner
I, naked alone.

The veil betrays the breathing
And eyes to the sky.
Whose bride am i?

That's a trick answer
I am my own
Here in this mistaken laughter
I, naked and slipping.

The veil betrays the breathing
And eyes to the sky.
Whose bride am i?

Calls to nothing
There are no ears
I gave myself away
I, naked alone.


2.Evidence

Frightened of the shadow on the wall
I think it looks a bit too much like me
Search my life for evidence of truth
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Terrified my tongue will now betray
All the lies that i'd been taught to say
Searched your eyes for evidence of love
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Afraid to break the silence in the room
Disbelieving faces stare me down
Seardch the world for evidence of faith
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?


3.If Only

Old ballet shoes tossed in the corner.
I put my cigarette out on the floor.
Same old broken down face in the mirror,
And fist sized hole in the door.

If only i could see past myself
These ankles keep twisting in vain
And the older i get the more things
I let be to blame.

Same old god, same old prayer.
I keep repeating myself but i'm not getting anywhere.

There's that old letter you wrote me.
You said you wanted to be a star.
Same old broken down car in the driveway,
I guess we didn't get too far.

If only i could see past myself,
These keys they keep turning in vain,
And the older i get the more things i let be to blame.
Same old god, same old prayer.
I keep repeating myself but i'm not getting anywhere.

If only i keep talking to that same old god.


4.That's Me

Caught in a mirror
Looking through sympathetic eyes
I'll come to the conclusion
That believers are sinners in disguise
And i was blind

So if you ask me
I'll keep saying that i am fine
So just don't ask
And if you see me i'll keep
Flashing that winning smile
Cause that's my mask

Now i don't know what to believe
This girl made of steel with
Her heart on her sleeve
Looking for someone
To love and leave me
That's me

Caught on the floor now
This bottle in my hand
In the confusion
It seemed the softest place to land
Now i can't stand

Everytime i'd think of you
I'd start to cry well not this time
And if you see me
You will know that the years went by
And they weren't kind

Walking the line on this highway of shame
Tied to the tracks expecting the train
So much to lose and no one to blame but me

That's me so if you see me...
