here I lied, wide awake, feeling nothing...   here I lied   didn't speak, just said nothing   here I liked, stretched the truth,   gave you the answers you wanted      as I reach for   another quick thing to say   I've lied      meanwhile...   here they lied, wide awake, feeling nothing   here they lied   side by side   far away   tin men and soldiers are bringing you home   she waits for you and you're not there   I know what you thought and I thought so too   she said that she'd wait forever   she tried   he tried   I tried all the way   I tried   you tried   we lied      all the words that get wasted   (on what's not heard/the right thing to say)   lied      In the bedroom, things get heated   she bleeds, he heals her wound   she leads, they live, they leave the room      isn't it a thin line in between lover & hate,   innocent affection, lust and rape   what gets given to us, what we take from each other   mommy, look at the naked ape trying to communicate   singing words that don't mean anything   I can never let myself forget   sometimes I feel so far away   I'll try not to   this helps me not to   I tried, you tried, we tried all the way
