lyrics

You were an echo that is all / A ripple from a mountain fall
I was wrong I couldn’t see / All you seemed was made by me

I’m not saying you weren’t real / Or there was nothing I could feel
But when I held you I held her / And when we kissed I tasted her

I was lying I was wrong / You were you and she was gone
I was lying I was wrong / You were you and she was gone

It’s not that I was insincere / I still wish that you were here
But when I touched you I touched her / And when we kissed I tasted her

I was lying I was wrong / You were you and she was gone
I was lying I was wrong / You were you and she was gone

I saw her today / We were like strangers on a train
I saw her today / Across in a café
I saw her today / I wanted words but nothing came
I saw her today / I am to blame

I still wanted her it’s true / I found a piece of her in you
I loved you and I loved her / And when we kissed I tasted her

I was lying…
