maybe moody blues (truth is up to you)

maybe this is true
and all the optimism is bravado
truth is up to you
if you dare to care enough to find it
the dream is real
but why does it not come true?
truth is up to you
but what can we do if i don't mind it

what can i do
what can i do
what can i do


(truth is up to you)


i bring it on myself
i know i do
i isolate myself
it's nothing new
i focus on one thing
lost in a job
everything else piles up
i live like a slob

i let myself burn out
and get dismissed
and when i look around
at all i missed
all the lost contacts
friends faded away
i do it to myself
what can i say

so here i am again
looking for a friend
singing one more lonely song
seems it has no end

who could care enough
when i make it so tough
how can anyone get close to
a child who never learned to trust

this is the life i know
and nothing else
i give this life away
not to myself
i dream of someone
who understands
who can somehow get through
my open hands

hands always open are a lie
they never close to hold on
when no one feels wanted
they are soon gone

a heart afraid to show any need
just pushes everyone away
a heart afraid to trust can only bleed
and without trust
love does not stay

so here i am again
looking for a friend
singing on more lonely song
seems it has no end

who could care enough
when i make it so tough
how can anyone get close to
a child who never learned to trust

crumbling inside
always denied
from the start
hearts lied
trust died

can only hide
behind false pride
a broken heart
love lied
trust died

here i am again
looking for a friend
singing on more lonely song
seems it has no end

who could care enough
when i make it so tough
how can anyone get close to
a child who never learned to trust



still looking for the one
who will not go away
no matter what i do
no matter what i say

still looking for the one
who will pass every test
who can convince me to trust
this is my quest
quest
quest
quest

remember?...
