I guess it's something like this:
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
lightest 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 it's
been a long time waiting
And it's
been a lifetime in the making
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
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
