Was it all in real time Or was it just in my mind Or was I just a ghost passing through you? Clinging to the wreckage Until 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 But 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 Oh-oh We said when you are alone and afraid I will come to your aid Was it just a dream?, just a dream? 'Cause it was real to me We say these words again and again But they still sound the same Say these words again and again And again and again.
