I met a man who was happy
And yet was losing sleep,
I saw a sadness inside him
Unhappiness underneath
And was it a crime
Was it a shame
Was there a face that he saw in his mind
Again and again?
And he told me
(Chorus)
Well there are times when I'm smiling
And yet I'm incomplete
The only thing I can tell you
Is 'some arrows go in deep'
There may be clouds all around us,
Even when skies are blue
There may be memories that blind us
And yet we all struggle through
And are we alive
When we feel pain
Can we refuse to remember a past life
Or the name of a lost love?
(All I know is)
I know the sun may be shining,
But all I can do is weep
The only thing I can tell you,
Is 'some arrows go in deep'
And it's not a crime
And no one's to blame
Who isn't tortured by the one thing
They won't have again
(And I know)
That there are times when I'm happy
And yet I'm losing sleep
The only thing I can tell you
Is 'some arrows go in deep'
