Barriers Lyrics - The Twelve Inch Singles - Soft Cell

Searching through the memory books 

Of photographs your lovers took 

Why play the game of place the pain 

When you end up feeling just the same 

Anyway... 

Sleep comes so slowly now 

So hard to keep the eyelids down 

And you're hoping soon to drown the sound 

Of a voice you know that whispers in 

Your mind... 

Oh, it was a sad, sad day 

The day you turned away 

And there was nothing in your eye 

You had told me once you found it impossible 

To cry...

I know you've been there and back 

I've been there too 

But it was never really deep in you 

To do those things you had to do... 

And in your sleepy bedroom eyes 

I saw the signs 

And I lay awake all night 

In the cold 

Until the light burned my side 

And there was nothing 

There was nothing anymore... 

And there was nothing 

Not a feeling 

As you glanced back from the door... 

Photos 

Move away to find another place 

That illustrates your point of view 

Surrounded by the little things 

That re-assure 

That reflect you... 

Ooooo and there was nothing 

And there was nothing in my heart 

And there was nothing in my head 

The light in your eyes is changing all the time 

And I still have your smile 

Burned into my mind...
