Mark Owen - Is That What It's All About? Lyrics

Could somebody give me an answer
A solution to fill up my space
As I take a peep out of the whole in my window
I see a land that is filled with disgrace

Now is it me or did it used to seem better?
Now I tear grows in every man's eye
But the tear never once reached the surface
And the tree which I climbed slowly dies

Is that what its all about hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?

A cure ain't been found for my problem just yet
Behind the wrought iron gate, it is there, I bet
But the key got a caught in a fisherman's net
With a dolphin the boy wanted for his pet

Well I know I ain't getting no younger
Pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
And all that I'll leave to remember
Is this problem I once paused to think

Is that what its all about hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what its all about?

Put it behind you, turn a blind eye
Though you always know that its here
Living your life through the line of defense
I stand for myself, is that what it's all about?
