Lyrics
READ MY LIPS
By Jorgen Carlsson, Herminia Carlsson and Francisco Rodriguez
© 2006
I may appear to be
Just a sullen girl who doesn?t care
But really I am very scared
Try, I try the best I can
It?s so hard for me to beat this curse
And find my sense of worth
I want to cut the strings
When my own thoughts bring me down
I need to stop and breathe
If I don?t I just might drown
Chorus:
If you read my lips you?ll be surprised
Read between the lines that I have drawn
You will find a soul waiting to fly
For so long
Why do I laugh out loud?
When there?s nothing funny to be heard
Stumbling on every word
Who, Who am I to be?
All the others look so beautiful
Here I am so plain
I want to cut the strings
When my own thoughts bring me down
I need to stop and breathe
If I don?t I just might drown
Chorus:
If you read my lips you?ll be surprised
Read between the lines that I have drawn
You will find a soul waiting to fly
For so long
Bridge:
One day I?m gonna shine
Like the way that they do
And shed this lonely skin
I?ll be like you
Chorus:
If you read my lips you?ll be surprised
Read between the lines that I have drawn
You will find a soul waiting to fly
For so long
