I saw a boy and he looked so shy
I saw a girl as I walked on by
Their eyes so lonely and so blue
I didn’t know what to say or do

I saw a man and his back was bent
I should have stopped but I just went
I didn’t know how to look or act
I watched them fading, that’s a fact

It seems so easy to turn my head or close my eyes
Or to hide behind oh so many alibis

But I don’t feel good at night in bed
All those faces are edged in my head
I try to erase them and I think I succeed
I finally care about my own need

It seems so easy to turn my head or close my eyes
Or to hide behind oh so many alibis
