Verse

Prechorus

Chorus

Verse 1

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 God as you grow older.

 I'd sleep so much easier tonight.

Pre Chorus:

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

 Of happy endings.

Close your eyes, re-write the story,

 A new beginning.

Chorus

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

 And all the promises they made us,

are all shattered on the ground.

Verse 2

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.

Pre Chorus:

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

 Of happy endings.

Close your eyes, re-write the story,

 A new beginning.

Chorus

[x2]

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

 And all the promises they made us,

 are all shattered on the ground.

Bridge

 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.

Chorus

[x2]

It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

 And all the promises they made us,

 are all shattered on the ground.

 Shattered on the ground,

All the cards are down

Everything they told us

 has always been so wrong,

 So wrong, so wrong, so wrong.
