[Verse 1]
It started so easy, in the wink of an eye
The moment you cut the cable
The rest of the world goes drifting by
Leaving me high and dry

[Verse 2]
Your love was there waiting to slip me the key
It's just that behind my curtain
Your love wasn't getting through to me
Setting my spirit free

[Verse 3]
What started me thinking of changing the plan
What took me so long to find out
That you only want me as I am
Want me the way that I am

[Chorus]
See how the silence sends it on down to you
And all that I need is to believe that it's true
This lesson is ovеr (Hey)
This message got through (Hеy)
I'm turning the corner
You know that I'm coming home to you, yeah
To be the one I can be
[Verse 4]
Oh, what started me thinking of changing the plan
What took me so long to find out
That you only want me as I am
Want me the way that I am

[Bridge]
I know you told me but I had to find it out for myself
And oh sweet baby I cried
And when I saw the way I hurt you
Saw the tears in your eyes
But now it's different 'cause I'm learning from my past mistakes
And I never make the same ones twice
Listen to me while I tell you this is no disguise

[Chorus]
See how the silence sends it on down to you
Oh and all that I need is to believe that it's true
I do believe it
This lesson is over (Hey)
This message got through (Hey)
And I'm turning the corner
You know that I'm coming home to you, yeah
To be what I can be
To be what I can be, yeah
To be what I can be
To be what I can be, yeah
To be what I can be
Be what I can be
