Signs

~Solo Interlude~
What would you do,
If someone broke down right in front of you?
Would you be in awe,
Because all their signs, you never saw?
Behind this chipped exterior is a lonely soul;
Just searching for his worries to be consoled.
But you would turn a blind eye,
Because he speaks a perfect lie.
Lies to take the burden of your concern,
So that maybe you can be happy in return.

~Chorus~
And while you were out last night,
Spending time with friends and going to get a bite;
This imperfect exterior began to break down,
But no one cared
(Refrain: No one ever cared):
No one was around. (x2)

~Solo Bridge~
Behind this cracked exterior is a lonely soul;
Just searching for his own life's role.
But you would replace those times,
Even though it's clear how much he pines.
But he smiles and plays along;
Hoping one day he'll belong.

~Chorus~
And while you were out last night,
Thinking that everything was alright;
This imperfect exterior began to break down,
But no one cared: no one was around.

~Solo Bridge~
Behind this quaking exterior is..
(Refrain: all the things you failed to see)
Behind this crumbling exterior is..
(Refrain: all the times you failed to see)
Behind this shattered exterior is a lonely soul;
(Refrain: never once did you see the signs)
Just searching for something to make him whole.

~Chorus~
And while you were out last night,
Spending time with friends and going to get a bite;
This imperfect exterior was breaking down,
But no one cared :
no one was around.
And while you were out last night,
Thinking that everything was alright;
This imperfect exterior was left shattered on the ground.

~Coda With Backup Vocals~
And where were you?
When all my signs you couldn't see.
What would you do,
If someone broke down right in front of you?
Would you be in awe,
Because all their signs, you never saw?

Great lyrics. I was really able to get into them.

Ditto, I felt it form the beginning and all the way through. Another one I'd love to hear with music. Very nice work.
