The harder we play

The faster we fall

When we think that we know it all

We know nothing at all

The letter arrives

Like a bolt from the blue

So what's left of your lives

All your dreams lost to you

Say it ain't true

Say it today

When I open my eyes

Will it all go away

Say it's not true

Say it's not real

Can't be happening to you

Can't be happening to me

It's hard not to cry

It's hard to believe

So much heartache and pain

So much reason to grieve

With the wonders of science

All the knowledge we've stored

Magic cocktails for lives

People just can't afford

Say it's not true

You can say it's not right

It's hard to believe

The size of the crime

Say it's not true

You can say it's not right

So hard to believe

The size of the crime

Say...

Say it's not real

It could be happening to you

Say it's not true

Say it's not right

It's hard to believe

The size of the crime

Say it's not true

Say it's not real

It could be happening to you

It could be happening to me
