	Story Behind the Song The lyrics are about how people all wear social masks to get along with people. It asks who the real person is inside and suggests that we are all 'Living Books' because we read one another. Lyrics What has been written and spoken Has been misheard and misread, When you try to help and love and show They only hurt your head; Should I say I am loyal, Should I say I am true Or will you tell me something different, Will I ever see through you? I am a living book (read me) So are you, take a look (and I'll read you too.) We put on smiles and social graces, Never mind these changing faces, We put on smiles and social faces, Never mind our changing graces. I am a living book, So are you, take a look. I am transparent but no ghost, I am no angel or demon, just your host, Would you answer my questions, Could you hazard a guess Or if I told you that I loved you, Would it leave you in a mess?
