Framing Hanley - It's Not What They Said lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Like a foggy mirror, <br>

Where receptions blurred <br>

And things could stand to be clearer. <br>

Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye. <br>

<br>

If I could be the man on your shoulder <br>

A God as you grow older. <br>

I'd sleep so much easier tonight. <br>

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story, <br>

Of happy endings. <br>

Close your eyes, re-write the story, <br>

A new beginning. <br>

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read <br>

And all the promises they made us, <br>

are all shattered on the ground. <br>

<br>

Your defense, <br>

you've done no wrong <br>

And live life in innocence, <br>

So how could they have looked you in the eye? <br>

<br>

If I could be the man on your shoulder <br>

A God as you grow older. <br>

I'd sleep so much easier tonight. <br>

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story, <br>

Of happy endings. <br>

Close your eyes, re-write the story, <br>

A new beginning. <br>

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read <br>

And all the promises they made us, <br>

Are all shattered on the ground. <br>

<br>

It's on the ground. <br>

And when the cards are down, <br>

It's safe to say that all bets are off. <br>

It's on the ground. <br>

And when the cards are down, <br>

Well it's time to play, it's hard to say. <br>

So bet all call. <br>

<br>

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read <br>

And all the promises they made us, <br>

Are all shattered on the ground. <br>

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read <br>

And all the promises they made us, <br>

Are all shattered on the ground. <br>

<br>

Shattered on the ground, <br>

All the cards are down <br>

Everything they told us <br>

has always been so wrong, <br>

So wrong, so wrong. <br>

So wrong<br>

<BR><BR>
