It was a lie
Nothing was real
Just a disguise you're using
You're using still

When you meet preacher man
Remind him of your fear
Over which you operate
Operate control

When the truth is recalled
The evidence resound
It's the price you'll pay
On the rebound

Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd now all along
You can't choose between weak or strong

But you're not there
To turn the key
On your own two feet
Two feet on the ground

Get a grip right on
To the situation
Try to choose what
You choose to ignore
Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd now all along
You can't choose between weak or strong

Your time has come
It's not too late
Don't hesitate
Hesitate
Hesitate

Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from

When the present destroys the past

Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd now all along
You can't choose between weak or strong
When the present destroys the past
When the present destroys the past
