lyrics

When nothing seems so real as everything that’s make-believe where no one tells the truth.
You don’t know which way to turn for confirmation you’re not wrong now denial’s the only proof.

There’s conviction everywhere, still nothing as convincing as what you felt before.
Cos the power of deceit - it takes you in and leaves you lost, not knowing what you saw.

Well, certainty is still possible
When it’s just a simple of case of either B or A
Cos when something’s really black or white
Why are people selling me shades of grey?

When nothing seems so real as everything that’s make-believe where no one tells the truth.
Still don’t know which way to turn - you start to feel you’ve got it wrong and so much left to learn.

But certainty is still possible
When it’s just a simple case of either B or A.
[There is no in-between]
Even all the things I used to know
[Chance or were you to blame?]
I take them with a pinch of salt – like everything you say.
[Tell me what you really mean]

Duty or just a game?
There is no in-between

Cos when something’s really black or white
[Differences look the same]
Why are you still selling me shades of grey?
