lyrics

Tell me again how it was gonna be
And I’ll tell you where you went wrong
The very idea that you could see
It isn’t funny but I laugh along
And the voice in your head is so loud
That it’s the only one you ever hear
But the voice in your head is just your voice
And it’s the only one that’s ever clear

And the choice we make is the same mistake
That we always choose
And the time we take isn’t all we fake
But it’s everything we lose

Tell me again what you were gonna do
And I’ll tell you that that’s a lie
Don’t say it if it isn’t true
You didn’t flinch when you said goodbye
And the light in your eyes is so bright
That’s it’s the only thing you ever see
But the light in your eyes is the white light
And so we disagree to disagree

And the choice we make is the same mistake
That we always choose
And the time we take isn’t all we fake
But it’s everything we lose

Tell me again about a better day
It’s the saddest story ever told
No one ever really lives that way
It’s the biggest lie you never sold
And the voice in your head is so loud
That it’s the only one you ever hear
But the voice in your head is just your voice
And it’s the only one that’s ever clear

And the choice we make is the same mistake
That we always choose
And the time we take isn’t all we fake
But it’s everything we lose

I stand alone on the platform
Watching life’s train whistle by
Waving sadly into the wind
Once more I am left behind

I stand alone on the platform
