Was it all in real time or was it just in my mind? Was I just a ghost passing through you Clinging to the wreckage, till I got the message? Hanging at the edge of the room
Give me something that's real Give me half of your bitterest pill Something from under the surface you actually feel
We say these words again and again But they still sound the same It was in your eyes, in your eyes They were just easy lies
The little words are heavy and promises are easy And no one's ever happy or sad for very long Well just because I said it, it doesn't mean I meant it I guess that was the way all along
I'm just shaping the sound I'm just turning the syllables round Dipping my toe in the water and watching you drown
We say these words again and again But they still sound the same It was in my eyes, in my eyes They were just easy lies
And we've been a long time waiting And it's been a lifetime in the making
We said "When you are alone and afraid I will come to your aid" Well was it just a dream, just a dream? Because it was real to me
We say these words again and again But they still sound the same We say these words again and again And again and again
