In the silence of your mind
You should ask yourself
What it is that makes you who you are
In the valley of your soul
You should take a walk
But you never go that far

It's strange, that I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange, everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you

In the window of your past
There's a broken pane, reflecting all the things that make you sad
In the shadow of your fear
There's no hiding place
So why do you to you run there?

It's strange, that I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange, that you should want to live your whole life through
Broken and blue

You're a martyr for the cause
But what that cause is I'm not sure
I'm sure it ends with no applause
Except for yours

In the church along my dreams
I'll say a prayer, that one day you'll believe

It's strange, that I should know you better than you do
You lovely fool
So strange, everybody sees your light shine through
Except for you

You lovely fool
