[Verse 1]
You can't find the real thing
That's  your favorite thing to say
I  listen to how you talk
And the words that you thought you couldn't save

You shout out the first thing
That  I thought you'd understate
It's  a lesson in how you caught
All the friends you run across and interchange

Outside  of friends who don't remember your name
There's not a single one
It's good to fantasize on the things that you'd say
You're not a friend at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're  making a big show
Of a tiny fiction
They may not believe you
But don't be afraid
Now that I gave you what you wanted
They may not trust you
But that's the price you pay

[Chorus]
You faded into darkness
[Bridge]
You shout out the first thing
That I thought you'd understate
It's a lesson in how you talk
And the words you run across and interchange

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Outside of friends who won't remember your name
There's not a single one
It's good to fantasize on the things that you'd say
You're not a friend at all

[Chorus]
You faded into darkness

[Outro]
You're making a big show
Of a tiny fiction
They may not believe you
But don't be afraid
