Soft Cell - Barriers lyrics
[Soft Cell - Barriers lyrics]
Searching through the memory books
Of photographs your lovers took
Why play the game of place the pain
When you end up feeling just the same anyway
Sleep comes so slowly now
So hard to keep the eyelids down
And you're hoping soon to drown the sound
Of a voice you know that whispers in
Your mind oh, it was a sad, sad day
The day you turned away
And there was nothing in your eye
You had told me once you found it impossible
To cry
I know you've been there and back
I've been there too
But it was never really deep in you
To do those things you had to do
And in your sleepy bedroom eyes
I saw the signs and I lay awake all night
In the cold until the light burned my side
And there was nothing
There was nothing anymore
And there was nothing not a feeling
As you glanced back from the door
Move away to find another place
That illustrates your point of view
Surrounded by the little things
That re-assure that reflect you
O-o-o-oo and there was nothing
And there was nothing in my heart
And there was nothing in my head
The light in your eyes is
Changing all the time
And I still have your smile
Burned into my mind
Of photographs your lovers took
Why play the game of place the pain
When you end up feeling just the same anyway
Sleep comes so slowly now
So hard to keep the eyelids down
And you're hoping soon to drown the sound
Of a voice you know that whispers in
Your mind oh, it was a sad, sad day
The day you turned away
And there was nothing in your eye
You had told me once you found it impossible
To cry
I know you've been there and back
I've been there too
But it was never really deep in you
To do those things you had to do
And in your sleepy bedroom eyes
I saw the signs and I lay awake all night
In the cold until the light burned my side
And there was nothing
There was nothing anymore
And there was nothing not a feeling
As you glanced back from the door
Move away to find another place
That illustrates your point of view
Surrounded by the little things
That re-assure that reflect you
O-o-o-oo and there was nothing
And there was nothing in my heart
And there was nothing in my head
The light in your eyes is
Changing all the time
And I still have your smile
Burned into my mind
