It went right by me

At the time it went over my head

I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead It went right by me

Just another wall

There should have been a moment

When we let our barriers fall I never meant what you're thinking

That's not what I meant at all Well I guess, we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You've got to let it go Closed for my protection

Open to your scorn

Between these two directions

My heart is sometimes torn I lie awake with my secrets

Spinning around my head

Something that somehow escaped me

Something you shouldn't have said I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead Well I guess, we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You've got to let it go

Let it go I find no absolution

In my rational point of view

Maybe some things are instinctive

But there's one thing you could do You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you

You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you Well I guess, we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You've got to let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go
