lyrics

... this is what she told me

"That night I said I loved you, I only meant to say
I love the way you make me feel right now,
but it didn't come out that way.
I'm sorry I deceived you
I know how it must feel
if it's any consolation all those things I said that night
I thought that they were real."

I've seen her out on campus at night time in the bars
I've seen her with that teenage tattooed anarchist boy and I watched them as they drove off in her car
And i walked off down the alley
and I sat down on the tracks
and I thought of how if I followed them I'd be out of this town
and when I do I ain't never coming back

And I'm back here in the gone house and I'm up here on the roof
And I'm pulling out my journals where I wrote down everything you said
as if I knew some day I might need the proof
I used to call you angel right here, I compared you to a rose
Now heaven's gates are all locked and I'm out here in your garden
where nothing ever grows.

That night you said you loved me, I knew it wasn't real
but I wanted to believe you, because i like the way it feels
please don't think that you deceived me I knew that wasn't you
and if it's any consolation, all those things you told me well I knew, I knew it wasn't true.
