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 ain’t true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away
Say it’s not true
Say it’s not 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
All the knowledge we’ve stored
Magic cocktails 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 right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say…
Say it’s not real
It could be happening to you
Say it’s not true
Say it’s not right
It’s hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it’s not true
Say it’s not real
It could be happening to you
It could be happening to me
