|
Like a foggy mirror, |
|
Where receptions blurred |
|
And things could stand to be clearer. |
|
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye. |
|
|
|
|
|
If I could be the man on your shoulder |
|
A God as you grow older. |
|
I'd sleep so much easier tonight. |
|
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story, |
|
Of happy endings. |
|
Close your eyes, re-write the story, |
|
A new beginning. |
|
It's not what they said, |
|
It's not what we read |
|
And all the promises they made us, |
|
All have shattered on the ground. |
|
|
|
Your defense, |
|
You've done no wrong |
|
And live life in innocence, |
|
So how could they have looked you in the eye? |
|
|
|
|
|
If I could be the man on your shoulder |
|
To watch you as you grow older. |
|
I'd sleep so much easier tonight. |
|
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story, |
|
Of happy endings. |
|
Close your eyes, re-write the story, |
|
A new beginning. |
|
And It's not what they said, |
|
And it's not what we read |
|
And all the promises they made us, |
|
All have shattered on the ground. |
|
|
|
And it's not what they said, |
|
And it's not what we read |
|
And all the promises they made us, |
|
All have shattered on the ground. |
|
|
|
It's on the ground. |
|
And when the cards are down, |
|
It's safe to say that all bets are off. |
|
When it's on the ground. |
|
When the cards are down, |
|
Well it's time to play, it's hard to say. |
|
So bet or call. |
|
|
|
It's not what they said, |
|
And it's not what we read |
|
And all the promises they made us, |
|
All have shattered on the ground. |
|
It's not what they said, |
|
And it's not what we read |
|
And all the promises they made us, |
|
All have shattered on the ground. |
|
|
|
Shattered on the ground, |
|
All the cards are down |
|
Everything they told us |
|
Has always been so wrong, |
|
So wrong, so wrong. |
|
So wrong |
