[Verse 1]
Tell me one more time again, just like I didn't hear you
Like I don't know what's going through your mind, I do
I play the same game too
I know it's hard to stop
Even when you want to

[Verse 2]
Now the moon lights up your face and I can see you're crying
And you never liked me to see you cry, it's true
I've done some crying too
You know, the hardest part about it's
Tryin' to hide it from you

[Chorus]
Well, it would be great to be so strong
Never needed anybody else to get along
But we're so scared of the silence and the tricks that we use
Oh, we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised
I don't want to lie about it, I'm not bulletproof

[Verse 3]
Well, I finally found the way to hide from all your glances
'Til the waiting game we play is through
I can, but what's the use
When all I really want to do is hide out with you?
[Chorus]
Well, it would be great to be so strong
Never needed anybody's help to get along
But we're so scared of the silence and the language that we use
Oh, we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised
I don't want to kid about it, I'm not bulletproof

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Tell me one more time again
Well, I guess I didn't hear you
And I don't know all the secrets that you keep inside
I tried the same thing too
But they all come pouring out of me when I'm talking to you

[Chorus]
Well, it would be great to be so strong
Never needed anybody else's help to carry on
But, I'm not waking up each morning with forgiveness I can use
No, I'm careless and I'm cruel, but I'm still easily bruised
Well, I'm so tired lying 'bout it, I'm not bulletproof
Oh, and I'm not gonna lie about it, I'm not bulletproof
