Say it’s not true

The harder we play, the faster we fall.

When we think that we know it all,

we know nothing at all.

The letter arrives, like a bolt from the blue.

So what’s left of your lives,

all your dreams lost to you

Say it’s not true, say it today,

when I open my eyes, will it all go away.

Say it’s not true, say it for real,

can’t be happening to you,

can’t be happening to me.

It’s hard not to cry, it’s hard to believe.

So much heartache and pain,

so much reason to grieve.

With the wonders of science,

and all the knowledge we’ve stored.

Magic coctails for lives, people just can’t afford.

Say it’s not true, you can say it’s not right,

it’s hard to believe, the size of the crime

Say it’s not true, you can say it’s not real ,

could be happening to you,

could be happening to me .
