Like a foggy mirror,nWhere receptions blurrednAnd things could stand to be clearer.nSometimes it's hard to look you in the eye.nn[Chorus]nIf I could be the man on your shouldernA God as you grow older.nI'd sleep so much easier tonight.nClose your eyes, they'll tell a story,nOf happy endings.nClose your eyes, re-write the story,nA new beginning.nIt's not what they said, and it's not what we readnAnd all the promises they made us,nAre all shattered on the ground.nnYour defense,nYou've done no wrongnAnd live life in innocence,nSo how could they have looked you in the eye?nn[Chorus]nnIt's on the ground.nAnd when the cards are down,nIt's safe to say that all bets are off.nIt's on the ground.nAnd when the cards are down,nWell it's time to play, it's hard to say.nSo bet all call.nnIt's not what they said, and it's not what we readnAnd all the promises they made us,nAre all shattered on the ground.nIt's not what they said, and it's not what we readnAnd all the promises they made us,nAre all shattered on the ground.nnShattered on the ground,nAll the cards are downnEverything they told usnHas always been so wrong,nSo wrong, so wrong.nSo wrong
