[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
