Verses 1 and 2:
I will reveal you the eyes
that once reflected my soul.
What you see is true,
the way it is.
I will reveal you the ears,
and all that they’ve ever heard.
I hear what I want.
That's the way it is.
Chorus:
Do you really, truly understand
that this is all I can ever be?
I cannot be bettered,
made more gracious.
Do you really understand
that you have already seen
almost the whole picture?
And it might yet disappoint you.
I just wanted to make sure of this
while it seems we are both still standing here...
Verses 3 and 4:
Soon you will see my lips;
the ones which have shouted some terrible things;
fell silent at the wrongest moment.
What can I say?
Very soon, you will get to see
all the flaws that were covered by this shell.
I won’t hold it against you
should you choose to leave.
Chorus:
Do you really, truly understand
that this is all I can ever be?
I cannot be bettered,
made more gracious.
Do you really understand
that you have already seen
almost the whole picture?
And it might yet disappoint you.
I just wanted to make sure of this
while it seems we are both still standing here...
