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 [sic]
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 [sic] 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.
