[Verse 1]

You can't find the real thing

That's  your favorite thing to say

I  listen to how you talk

And the words that you thought you couldn't save

You shout out the first thing

That  I thought you'd understate

It's  a lesson in how you caught

All the friends you run across and interchange

Outside  of friends who don't remember your name

There's not a single one

It's good to fantasize on the things that you'd say

You're not a friend at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You're  making a big show

Of a tiny fiction

They may not believe you

But don't be afraid

Now that I gave you what you wanted

They may not trust you

But that's the price you pay

[Chorus]

You faded into darkness

[Bridge]

You shout out the first thing

That I thought you'd understate

It's a lesson in how you talk

And the words you run across and interchange

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Outside of friends who won't remember your name

There's not a single one

It's good to fantasize on the things that you'd say

You're not a friend at all

[Chorus]

You faded into darkness

[Outro]

You're making a big show

Of a tiny fiction

They may not believe you

But don't be afraid
