lyrics
I belong beneath us
There seems no other way
I lay between the need for freedom
and the truth as it escapes
I'm bound unto decisions
But I find it hard, so hard to wait
If I am not a wanted one
There is nothing I, nothing I can say
We never said, never said
It would go easy
We never said
We'd hold onto any cards
We never said, never said
It would go easy
But we never thought we'd fall this hard
Some are made to build Atlantis
But they never learn to swim
We pretend just like it's Hollywood
But it won't explain how many moods I'm in
I'm tired of your excuses
As I drift into some new place
Tell me all about Hollywood
And how nobody, nobody knows my name
We never said, never said
It would go easy
We never said we'd hold onto any cards
We never said, never said
It would go easy
But we never thought we'd fall this hard
Yeah, we never thought we'd fall this hard
But I'll confess our stress to make it right
can make it feel so wrong, sometimes
But I believe in reason
not in ridged rules and all these solid lines
We never said, never said
It would go easy
We never said
We'd hold onto any cards
We never said, never said
It would go easy
But we never thought we'd fall this hard
We never thought we'd fall this hard
We never thought we'd fall this hard
