The same old roles we wait to play
We wipe our lips from kisses that would kill
Then we turn and make the other kneel
We say"I'll hold you dear"
And I can tell that none of this' for real
And even if I try to be surreal
I know the truth; our love is just a deal
That we can stand and tell the truth someday
Cause we both know that if we try to
So just play along and hide it
A lie to tell, the gospel strays
A testament to writings from a fool
There's no erasing ink on a page
So we write upon a stone and not reveal
And I can tell that none of this' for real
And even if I try to be surreal
I know the truth; our love is just a deal
I tell myself that all of this is real
And even if I try to be surreal
I know the truth; our love is just a deal
And from this paradise, I'll never heal
So if I ever try to be surreal
Just lie to me and say our love is real.
