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 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 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

We say these words again and again

And again and again
