all the things you said

holding on to nothing
tight as i can hold
i say to me
you will be free
if you could just let go
waiting here for something
to erase this sad regret
to take away
the hurt and pain
of all the things you said

(chorus)
all the things you said
were all the things i know
but in the end
it was the end
i never thought you'd go
all i ever wanted
was shattered, torn and dead
the moment i believed in
all the things you said

make believe is ending
reality is cold
i try to find
a place to hide
a refuge for my soul
i'm living in the moment
like a book i've never read
i turn the page
on every page
is all the things you said

(chorus)
all the things you said
were all the things i know
but in the end
it was the end
i never thought you'd go
all i ever wanted
was shattered, torn and dead
the moment i believed in
all the things you said
