Our Lady Peace - Deep Down Lyrics

When you look at me,
Do you close your eye’s,
So you don’t have to face the fear inside
You are haunted by regret
For a mistake you haven’t even made yet

I heard a wise voice once say
Mistakes are for learning
Don’t throw love away
If you’ll just wait and see
There will come another time for you and me

So you can run away fast as you can
And forgetting me well it can be your plan
But the silence will scream at you
This is not the right thing to do

And falling came so easily
And for the first time
You took life lightly
And would it be worth trying
If you could actually see me crying
You ask yourself each and every night
How can something so wrong feel so right
One day you’ll let it show ya’
You will do something impractical

So you can run away fast as you can
And forgetting me well it can be your plan
But the silence will scream at you
This is not the right thing to do

So come on run away fast as you can
And forgetting me will it can be your plan
But the silence will scream at you
This is not the right thing to do

And deep down you’ll know
You’re not ready to let go

When you look at me
Do you close your eyes
So you don’t have to face the fear inside
You are haunted by regret
For a mistake you haven’t made yet
