Face to Face
Peter Serrado Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh you worry,it'll find you all alone,
For they ask cause you don't know you, but he knows you well

You search for envy, while you brag about your riches
But little do they know, your wall is paper thin

You can run but over time you'll come to realize you're short of the wall
He knows who you are, he knows who you are

Something that you said, it spoke to me
Something that you'll do, it'll get me clear across the storm of my own mind

And I will learn,
And I will love,
And I will try,
Faced with who I'm running from

And I will turn,
And say goodbye
I'll never feel the need to let you go

You're feeling heavy, and you've fallen in his hands
But now the whole world knows you, one day you'll understand

You can run but over time you'll come to realize you're short of the wall
He knows who you are, he knows who you are

Something that you said it spoke to me
Something that you'll do, it'll get me clear across the storm of my own mind

It's waiting there for you, it might hurt, but man I'm telling you
They will love you for the man you were meant to be

And I will learn,
And I will love,
And I will try,
Faced with who I'm running from

And I will turn,
And say goodbye
I'll never feel the need to let you know

Oh it's in the air, not what you wanna hear,
You're far from the road, turn yourself around
Stop wandering on your own, you're losing your charm

Stop opening your ears to what you wanna hear
Stop opening your eyes to what you wanna see
You're losing your charm, I'm losing my charm

And I will learn,
And I will love,
And I will try,
Faced with who I'm running from

And I will turn,




And say goodbye
I'll never feel the need to let you know
