I thought that you knew it all
|
Well you've seen it ten times before.
|
I thought that you had it down
|
With both your feet on the ground.
|
I love slow...slow but deep.
|
Feigned affections wash over me.
|
Dream on my dear
|
And renounce temporal obligations.
|
Dream on my dear
|
It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.
|
|
You build me up then you knock me down.
|
You play the fool while I play the clown.
|
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
|
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
|
You tell me that I dream too much
|
Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.
|
|
I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
|
|
I thought that I knew it all
|
I'd seen all the signs before.
|
I thought that you were the one
|
In darkness my heart was won.
|
|
You build me up then you knock me down.
|
You play the fool while I play the clown.
|
We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
|
You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
|
You tell me that I dream too much
|
Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.
|
|
I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
|
|
Never let it be said I was untrue
|
I never found a home inside of you.
|
Never let it be said I was untrue
|
I gave you all my time.
