My need for love, my fear of heights
You and I we're no different
When my fingers crossed, I hope in vain
They know my voice, they know my name
In the tainted arms of another man
It's all a lie, it's all a lie
To fix it all, ‘cause you know my pain
We both have a past in a silver frame
It's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie, it's all a lie
That you'll be home with sleepy eyes
When I walk alone into the night
Everyone sings, everyone sings
And I forget how the time, it flies
‘Cause it's all a lie
It's all a lie, it's all a lie
Everyone wants a piece of the love of God
The lips of time, they kiss again
But it's all a lie
Can't help myself
So I keep my wit, my running game
Than the rest of the world when the morning rings
See my heart, it died a slow weary death
‘Cause it's all a lie
They know my voice, they know my name
My need for love, my fear of heights
When the morning rings
There's no perfect way to clear the mess
And I forget how the time, it flies
When the day is long, and it keeps me dry
My shoulders straight, chin up high
But seen I'm not different than the rest of the world
I know you can tell that I can't help myself
