<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>
