------------------------------

Scary, but it's true
that all I have to do
is look into your eyes
to see how things have changed

All I needed from you
someone to believe
who believed in me
no longer is my heart still chained

All you have to do
is say you feel the same way
All you have to do
is say you feel the same way
'cause things are gonna change
don't leave it up to Fate...

I saw you today
walking up in town
wearing your disguise
pretending not to see me

So how does one go on?
When you're all that I need
to survive this burn
that I thought I could forget

And all you have to do
is say you feel the same way
All you have to do
is say you feel the same way
just say what's on your mind then,
don't let it go too long now
'cause things are gonna change
don't leave it up to Fate...

Isn't it so strange?
How we go to pieces...
It seems like only yesterday...well,
now I can return!

All you have to do... (chorus x 2 out)
da dah da... da dah da...

:: this is the new version with some re-writing;
including additional lyrics and some musical
and vocal improvements... this song
has been a book with many chapters
and a history all its own... it was written
after a very personal loss and the anger
and frustration I feel at the unwillingness
of others to just say what is in the front
of their minds...
