Lied

Here i lied, wide awake, feeling nothing...
Here i lied
Didn't speak, just said nothing
Here i liked, stretched the truth,
Gave you the answers you wanted

As i reach for
Another quick thing to say
I've lied

Meanwhile...
Here they lied, wide awake, feeling nothing
Here they lied
Side by side
Far away
Tin men and soldiers are bringing you home
She waits for you and you're not there
I know what you thought and i thought so too
She said that she'd wait forever
She tried
He tried
I tried all the way
I tried
You tried
We lied

All the words that get wasted
(on what's not heard/the right thing to say)
Lied

In the bedroom, things get heated
She bleeds, he heals her wound
She leads, they live, they leave the room

Isn't it a thin line in between lover & hate,
Innocent affection, lust and rape
What gets given to us, what we take from each other
Mommy, look at the naked ape trying to communicate
Singing words that don't mean anything
I can never let myself forget
Sometimes i feel so far away
I'll try not to
This helps me not to
I tried, you tried, we tried all the way
