The little thoughts came rushing in   While I watched for a sign from him   When all the while was clear as day   That I should go and he should stay      I look his love like it was mine   I squeezed the truth until it lied   It took some time for cracks to show   Should I stay or should he go?      The simple story that you told me   Is a little different from what you showed me   The simple story, unfurling slowly   Is if you lay down with a dream   You'll wake up lonely      The fog will cast a certain shade   So what you see is how what's made   it's mark will show you what to do   When hope pretends it's made you new   Love lied love lied but I'm the reason   Love lied      The simple story that you told me   Is a little different from what you showed me      The sky wraps round the mountaintops      The watch unwinds until it stops   Some things will always be the way they are      And that is how they'll stay      The simple story that you told me   Is a little different from what you showed me   The simple story, unfurling slowly   Is if you lay down with a dream   You'll wake up lonely
