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
 
 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 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
 
 But 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
 
 We say these words again and again
 
 And again and again
