lyrics

Well here lies my life
Was it a noble cause to fight?
And I've been so despised
That no one will stand by my side
No one by my side
And these walks get so cold
Oh, they get so cold

She'd rather be with the trees, than these buildings
They're tearing me down
They're tearing me down
Yes, I'd rather see you with me
The mask behind the face
When I watch you drown

The mask behind the face
The mask behind the face

Well there goes my pride
I can't see your face tonight
Oh, how foolish you've become
These masks and faces
They cannot define you
Only we can
Only we can

I've been thinking
About next weekend
And maybe we can
See what we can
We've never seen just what we could do
Oh, we've never seen just what we could do

She'd rather be with the trees, than these buildings
You're tearing me down
I'm watching you drown
Yes, I'd rather be with the trees, than these buildings
I made you a crown

Yes, I'd rather see you with me
The mask behind your face
I know it all too well
I know it all too well

Yes, I'd rather see you with me
The mask behind your face
Why would you want to hide that face?
