Phil Collins - Behind The Lines lyrics

I held the book so tightly in my hands,

I saw your picture, heard you call my name

It was strange I could not look away

I had to be there, I wanted to go

You gave me no reason, you gave me no warning

But I was with you by your side

Give me the strength, so I can help you

And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me

It's written in the book

The sun is hotter than before

But inside it's cold, I wonder why

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

Well, I believe we can make it right

It's time now to show our feelings

Looking through you, your heart's empty

Whatever happened to you, you can't change it

Nowhere to run to, please, oh please, don't let me down

But wait a minute I don't understand, it's getting stronger, hold my hand

Don't wanna leave you, I don't wanna go but I'm a-losing all control

Can't you see me I'm slipping away

I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here, oh Lord

It's written in the book

I held the book so tightly in my hands

Saw your picture, heard you call my name

Oh, and even though we never, never touched

I keep waiting for you just the same

La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la...
