[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Give me something that's real

Give me half of your bitterest pill

Something from under the surface

You actually feel

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I'm just shaping the sound

I'm just turning the syllables round

Dipping my toe in the water

And watching you drown

[Chorus 2]

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

[Bridge]

And we've been a long time waiting

And it's been a lifetime in the making

[Chorus 3]

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

[Outro]

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

We say these words again and again

And again and again
