lyrics

I’ve been losin’ time;
I’ve been chasin’ dreams that should have died;
Been castin’ a line;
To anyone who’d listen on the other side;
Now ya’ know my crime;
I’m another proverb for the book of life;
We all want to feel special;
And we'd sell our soul without knowin’ why - why;

I’m a lie;
Alive;
I’m a lie;
Alive

I’ve been sellin’ a dream;
Entering your home without a key;
You let me nest in your mind;
Hatchin’ hope for the hopeless who’ve already died;
I’m no better than you;
I couldn’t stand knowin’ that you knew the truth;
That I’m an empty tomb;
I can’t walk on water or fill the hole in you;

I’m a lie;
Alive;
I’m a lie;
Alive

Do they see me?
What do they see?

Come with me;
Come with me;
Fall with me;
Fall with me;
Sing with me;
Sing;
'Til we're standin’ alone;

Come with me;
Come with me;
Fall with me;
Fall with me;
Sing with me;
Sing;
'Til we're standin’ alone;

I’ve been losin’ time;
I’ve been chasin’ dreams that should have died;
I've been castin’ a line;
To anyone who’d listen on the other side;
And now ya’ know my crime;
I’m another proverb for the book of life;
All want to feel special;
And we'd sell our soul without knowin’ why;

I’m a lie;
Alive;
I’m a lie;
Alive;
I’m a lie;
Alive;
I’m a lie;
Alive
