[Verse 1]
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go through
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, that's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Just trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Verse 2]
Every whisper, every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, consider this
Just consider this the hint of the century
Consider this, this slip
That brought mе to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasiеs come flailing around?
Now I've said
Too much
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Bridge]
That was just a dream
That was just a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
I'm losing my religion
Still trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing, oh
I think I thought I saw you try
[Outro]
Oh, but that was just a dream
Tryin', dyin', flyin', cryin'
That was just a dream, it was just a dream
Just a dream, a dream
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go through
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, that's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Just trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Verse 2]
Every whisper, every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, consider this
Just consider this the hint of the century
Consider this, this slip
That brought mе to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasiеs come flailing around?
Now I've said
Too much
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Bridge]
That was just a dream
That was just a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
I'm losing my religion
Still trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing, oh
I think I thought I saw you try
[Outro]
Oh, but that was just a dream
Tryin', dyin', flyin', cryin'
That was just a dream, it was just a dream
Just a dream, a dream
