Don't let them tell you what it's all about
I'm right beside you, a dreamer you can do without
I know you well, but we've never met
Always the same, always the safe bet

I know what's happening, I've seen it before
Uninvited, I'll be coming to your back door
Lock all your windows, hide under your bed
I hear you breathing, I know you're there

You can turn off the light
You can turn off your mind
You can shut me out

But I'll still be here
I'll still be here
You can turn me off, try to shut me down
But I'll still be here

You want to see things all the same
Why don't you see things in color for a change?
I'm waiting and listening, trying to walk in your shoes
They walk a straight line, such a straight line

I'll drop my fences, if you drop your guard
Meet me on the front porch, stop hiding in your backyard
Unlock your windows, come out from the bed
Your TVs glowing, I know you're there

You can turn it around
Till you like how it sounds
You can turn me off

But I'll still be here
I'll still be here
You can turn me down but I'll just shout it out
I'll still be here

Who did away with empathy?
How do you love without sympathy?
And who's gonna be the one to speak for me?

I'll still be here
...
