I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true

That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise

And act as if nothing ever..



Died or faded away, got lonelier with age

And time isn't on our side



I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake

And make it seem like they're overrated

You certainly talk about me more when

I fall down

And when I get up, my time is never enough

Loved in front behind my back hated

I guess it has everything to do with luck



I can defend the truth

But I sound like white noise to my friends

As I raise my glass to you

In a stupor we speak words

That couldn't be more honest



Lies we lived before are fights without a war

I'm dead when it's in your head



I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink

Are cutting our chances of being saved

I see that the end is all we have to let us know

I'd like to believe in something more than a dream

For when the will to be one has faded

I guess the truth will soon be deceived

My friend that isn't there,

My solitaire.
