How each of us decides 
I've never been sure 
The part we play 
The way we are 
How each of us denies any other way in the world 
Why each of us must choose 
I've never understood 
One special friend 
One true love 
Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world 

However unsure 
However unwise 
Day after day play out our lives 
However confused 
Pretending to know to the end 
But this isn't the truth this isn't right 
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real 
This is a lie 

How each of believe 
I've never really known 
In heaven unseen and hell unknown 
How each of us dreams to understand anything at all 
Why each of us decides 
I've never been sure 
The part we take 
The way we are 
Why each of denies every other way in the world 

However unsure 
However unwise 
Day after day play out our lives 
However confused 
Pretending to know to the end 

But this isn't truth this isn't right 
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real 
This is a lie 
But this isn't truth this isn't right 
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie
