lyrics

Truth is like water
It finds a way out
People need something
To gossip about
The things that you knew
You hoped were not true
Suspicions denied
And both of you lied
Like dreamers in the park
Fall asleep in sunshine
Wake up in the dark
Like dreamers in the park
Love turns to hate
Into poison and bile
It taints every memory
Twists every smile
The life that you had
Not your life at all
What made you feel special Makes you feel small
Like dreamers in the park
Fall asleep in sunshine
Wake up in the dark
Like dreamers in the park
Just out of sight
Beyond what you’d dreamed
What we thought was right
Was not what it seemed
Your life is a story
Both of you told
But what did you hide?
What did you withhold?
Looking for that little mistake
Looking for that little mistake
Looking for that little mistake
