lyrics

So you think that you know me
Well, try thinking again
You mistook that the way that I look’s
Gonna tell you the way that I am

And don't believe in the stories
Or in things that you hear second-hand
'Cause they're never true and won't give you a clue
And they won’t help you to understand

CHORUS
Is there a God in the detail
Or only chaos the closer we get?
I’m so much more than a shadow upon a cave wall
Yeah, you’ve only seen my silhouette

Don’t assume that my songs all have meaning
Or the things that I speak of are real
‘Cause sometimes they’re only words that I once overheard
And they don’t always say what I feel

So forgive me for any deceptions
And for keeping my feelings inside
Though there’s no guarantees for the way I’m perceived
It was not my intention to hide

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTR.

REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, you’ve only seen my silhouette
All you’re seeing is my silhouette
