(Verse 1)
We walk past each other every day,
Eyes down, afraid of what to say.
We build our walls, high and strong,
Keepin’ all the world out, tryin' to belong.
Is it fear of being seen,
Or the hurt that lies between?
Sometimes I wonder why we’re so afraid,
To give a piece of heart we’ve saved.
(Chorus)
Love’s easy with the ones we know,
But strangers make it hard to show.
We hold back, we hide away,
Afraid to feel what words might say.
Oh, if we could just be kind,
Maybe we’d leave the fears behind.
But love feels so hard to give,
To those who pass us where we live.
(Verse 2)
A smile’s just a bridge across the street,
But we hurry past, no words to speak.
Wrapped up in a world of our own,
Afraid to reach, afraid to be shown.
Sometimes I wonder what could be,
If we let go, if we set it free.
A little warmth, a little grace,
For every unknown face we face.
(Chorus)
Love’s easy with the ones we know,
But strangers make it hard to show.
We hold back, we hide away,
Afraid to feel what words might say.
Oh, if we could just be kind,
Maybe we’d leave the fears behind.
But love feels so hard to give,
To those who pass us where we live.
(Bridge)
Maybe we're scared of what they’ll see,
The flaws and scars we try to keep.
Maybe we all just need a sign,
That someone’s heart is just like mine.
(Chorus)
Love’s easy with the ones we know,
But strangers make it hard to show.
We hold back, we hide away,
Afraid to feel what words might say.
Oh, if we could just be kind,
Maybe we’d leave the fears behind.
But love feels so hard to give,
To those who pass us where we live.
(Outro)
So here we stand, worlds apart,
Close in distance, far in heart.
Maybe someday, we’ll find a way,
To let love break through, to let it stay.
