Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You say you really know me you’re not afraid to show me what is in your eyes So tell me about the rumors Are they only rumors? Are they only lies? Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? If you really knew me You couldn’t do this to me You would be my friend If one of us is lying There’s no use in trying No need to pretend Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? Is it real? Did I dream it? Will I wake from this pain Is it true? Is it over? Baby did I throw it away? Ooh, is ït true?
