I told you all that I wanted to say   and you believed all you wanted to hear.   Our little fictions helped to break up the day   they keep us warm and they keep back the fear.   And to know, could have thrown us out of sync   like breathing when you try too hard   And to know, could have shaken us away   made us see it as a waste of time   Waste of time   Waste of time   We're not our personal history book   start again when we get to the end   And it's a fiction like all history   it's been distorted until it makes sense   And to know, could have blown us out of sync   like breathing when you try too hard   And to know, could have shaken us away   made us see it as a waste of time   But to know, could have thrown us out of sync   but it never was a waste of time   Waste of time
