| I thought that you knew it all |
| Well you've seen it ten times before. |
| I thought that you had it down |
| With both your feet on the ground. |
| I love slow...slow but deep. |
| Feigned affections wash over me. |
| Dream on my dear |
| And renounce temporal obligations. |
| Dream on my dear |
| It's a sleep from which you may not awaken. |
|
| You build me up then you knock me down. |
| You play the fool while I play the clown. |
| We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum. |
| You raise my hopes then you raise the odds |
| You tell me that I dream too much |
| Now I'm serving time in disillusionment. |
|
| I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you. |
|
| I thought that I knew it all |
| I'd seen all the signs before. |
| I thought that you were the one |
| In darkness my heart was won. |
|
| You build me up then you knock me down. |
| You play the fool while I play the clown. |
| We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum. |
| You raise my hopes then you raise the odds |
| You tell me that I dream too much |
| Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard. |
|
| I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you. |
|
| Never let it be said I was untrue |
| I never found a home inside of you. |
| Never let it be said I was untrue |
| I gave you all my time. |
