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
