Years go by
Will I still, will I still be here waiting to understand?
Years go by
If I'm stripped, if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the clouds raining in my head
Years go by
Will I choke 'til finally there's nothing left?
One more casualty, you know we're too easy, easy, easy
Well, I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby, don't look up, the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking at you, here, take hold of my hand
Yeah, I can hear them
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of yours
With her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care
'Cause sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice, I hear my voice
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years
I've been here
Silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
-Tori Amos
