I told you all that I wanted to say
And you believed all you wanted to hear
Our little fictions helped to break up the day
They keep us warm and they keep back the fear
And to know, could have thrown us out of sync
Like breathing when you try too hard
And to know, could have shaken us away
Made us see it as a waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
We're not our personal history book
Start again when we get to the end
And it's a fiction like all history
It's been distorted until it makes sense
And to know, could have blown us out of sync
Like breathing when you try too hard
And to know, could have shaken us away
Made us see it as a waste of time
But to know, could have thrown us out of sync
But it never was a waste of time
Waste of time
