She said, “A lie’s a poor way to say hello.”
But at the time, how could I know
That she would find a doorway to my heart
When I was only playing a part?
What she said made only sense to me
What she said we both felt held the key
What she said was never meant to be
It wasn’t time for what she said
She said, “The days ahead are worth living for.”
I couldn’t predict what lay there in store
Somehow she saw straight into my soul
When I was only playing a role
What she said made only sense to me
What she said we both felt held the key
What she said was never meant to be
It wasn’t time for what she said
She said, “You and I, we see the same things.”
Neither could guess what only time brings
I thought I knew exactly what was best
That’s what singles fools from the rest
But what she said made perfect sense to me
And what she said we both thought held the key
Yet what she said was never meant to be
There wasn’t time for what she said
No, it wasn’t the time for what she said
She said....
