It's Not What They Said
Like a foggy mirror
Where receptions blurred
And things could stand to be clearer
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye
If I could be the man on your shoulder
A guide as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
And your defense
You've done no wrong
And live life in innocence
So how could they have looked you in the eye?
If I could be the man on your shoulder
To watch you as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
And it's not what they said it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down
It's safe to say that all bets are off
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down
Well it's time to play it's hard to say
So bet all call
It's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
It's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
Shattered on the ground
And all the cards are down
Everything they told us
Has always been so wrong
So wrong so wrong
So wrong
Where receptions blurred
And things could stand to be clearer
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye
If I could be the man on your shoulder
A guide as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
And your defense
You've done no wrong
And live life in innocence
So how could they have looked you in the eye?
If I could be the man on your shoulder
To watch you as you grow older
I'd sleep so much easier tonight
Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings
Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning
And it's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
And it's not what they said it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down
It's safe to say that all bets are off
It's on the ground
And when the cards are down
Well it's time to play it's hard to say
So bet all call
It's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
It's not what they said and it's not what we read
And all the promises they made us
Are left shattered on the ground
Shattered on the ground
And all the cards are down
Everything they told us
Has always been so wrong
So wrong so wrong
So wrong
