Behind the Lines lyrics

Held the book so tightly in my hand

I saw your picture, heard you call my name

There was something strange, I could not look away

I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

But you gave no reason

And you gave me no warning

But I was with you

Right by your side

Just give me the strength

And I can help you

And they can try their hardest

'Cause they don't frighten me

It is written in the book

The sun is hotter now

Than I felt before

But I feel so cold and I don't know why

But if the fire within your heart

Can beat the storm

Then I really believe

We gonna make it right

The time has come now

We gotta show our feelings

But I'm looking right through you

And your heart is empty

But whatever happened to you

It's too late to change now

'Cause there is nowhere you can run to, no place to hide

Ahh you let me down

But wait a minute, I don't understand

It's getting stronger, so grab my hand

Don't wanna leave you, now I don't wanna go

But I'm losing all control

Can't you see me?

I'm slipping away

And I can only stay

If you've the will to keep me here oh Lord

It is written in the book

Oh so many times since then I've read those words

I'm waiting to see you, can you see me?

Oh tell me can you see me?
