otherwise 

If you tell me otherwise I'll turn away to start again
Again with different eyes
but with a heart that will stay true
to what it knows must lie beneath the fallen stones
the broken bones of all that lived before
The us we never knew
The shame in what we're told that holds no truth
but seems to own our very soul
by simply passing down the wound
And if you tell me otherwise
another chance may come another day
I know that there will come a time
a different light will show a different way
The language turning meaning upside down
And every step is losing ground
It's time to stop to look around
This can't be real
The choices brought us to this time and placed
the future in a past
never asking what we'd lose
If we can't feel
And if you tell me otherwise
another chance may come another day
I know that there will come a time
a different light will show a different way
