Do You See Me?

there's a photograph hanging on the wall
a frame in the shape of a heart
won't let that picture fall
another place, another time
it's so hard for you to believe
I left that place behind

well I'm standing in front of you now
right here, tonight

do you see me? (can you really see?)
do you see me as I am?
can you hear me?
can you hear me when I speak
open up your eyes tonight
before the tears start to fall
love is no more than any photograph on the wall

the years get swept like dust by a broom
and memories burn like a flame
inside an empty room
I need to make new memories now
but you want to keep me in yours
as if you could somehow

do you want some prisioner of time?
or someone to love?

do you see me? (can do you really see?)
do you see me as I am?
can you hear me?
can you hear me when I speak?
listen to my voice tonight
and let the words find your heart
there is nothing but your fear to keep us apart

(time) time can be a master thief
with no conscience it seems
(don't)don't become a victim again
forever chasing endless dream

do you see me?
do you see me as I am?
can you hear me?
can you hear me when I speak?
