FRAMING HANLEY lyrics : "it's not what they said"


Like a foggy mirror


Where receptions blurred

And things could stand to be clearer


Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye




If I could be the man on your shoulder


A god as you grow older


I'd sleep so much easier tonight

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story of happy endings





Close your eyes, re-write the story, a new beginning

And it's not what they said and it's not what we read


And all the promises they made us


Are left shattered on the ground




And your defense


You've done no wrong

And live life in innocence


So, how could they have looked you in the eye?




If I could be the man on your shoulder


To watch you as you grow older


I'd sleep so much easier tonight

Close your eyes, they'll tell a story of happy endings





Close your eyes, re-write the story, a new beginning

And it's not what they said and it's not what we read


And all the promises they made us


Are left shattered on the ground




And it's not what they said, it's not what we read


And all the promises they made us

Are left shattered on the ground





It's on the ground

And when the cards are down


It's safe to say that all bets are off




It's on the ground

And when the cards are down


Well, it's time to play, it's hard to say

So, bet all call




It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

And all the promises they made us


Are left shattered on the ground




It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

And all the promises they made us

Are left shattered on the ground




Shattered on the ground

And all the cards are down

Everything they told us


Has always been so wrong



So wrong, so wrong


So wrong
