[Verse 1]
It's the loneliest of situations
Hard words make a good foundation
And the wall gets taller the more that we don't try
Tears and anger, brick by brick
Two miles wide and too hard to stay
The difference between how we really feel inside

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're still listening over there
This is me saying I still care

[Chorus]
A kind word from me or you
Just might let a little light shine through
'Cause love's the only thing around
Strong enough to bring it down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Who knows how we got this way
So close yet so far away
I can almost feel you reaching out for me
We've gotta work this out together
Or the walls come to stand forever
Hand in hand, but how hard could that be
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're still listening over there
This is me saying I still care

[Chorus]
A kind word from me or you
Just might let a little light shine through
'Cause love's the only thing around
Strong enough to bring it down

[Chorus]
A kind word from me or you
Just might let a little light shine through
'Cause love's the only thing around
Strong enough to bring it down
