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
