A Different Lie - Slapp Happy

All the broken hearts

When they’re taken apart

Put you back where you start

There’s nothing you can do about it

And you’re not out of tune

With the shape of your room

Then what can you do

To make it any other way?

It’s a miracle he’s more awake than asleep

On a gravity wave, walking on water is easy

Caught in tremors of a violent kind

Two worlds, two minds

You sink like a stone

Too right!

you’re on your own

With a trick of the light, turning day into night

Made me feel so sad, unsatisfied

Like a reason that’s past had no reason to last

Picking up the pieces, walking on broken glass

Reaching for the crystal glass

But then the band played on

That’s what’s called «amore»

Though we could try it mine

Let’s do it your way

All the broken hearts

When they’re taken apart

Put you back where you start

Looking for a different lie

Like a reason that’s past had no reason to last

Picking up the pieces, can’t trust too much
