I have no way of telling the two apart
Well, I made amends
In the general sense
But the devil's in the details
And I know the cost
And I wanna stop
But I can't do it
I just can't do it
There was love I meant
There were accidents
So tell me which is which
Because I just can't work it out
But for memory and clarity
We had better write it down

I saw the future as a cloud

If there's still time to turn around

I'm going to

And all day, all night I dream

I am the first one I deceive
B7 Am C B7
If I can make myself believe the rest is easy
