I thought that you knew it all
  Well you've seen it ten times before.
  I thought that you had it down
  With both your feet on the ground.
  I love slow...slow but deep.
  Feigned affections wash over me.
  Dream on my dear
  And renounce temporal obligations.
  Dream on my dear
  It's a sleep from which you may not awaken.
  
  You build me up then you knock me down.
  You play the fool while I play the clown.
  We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
  You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
  You tell me that I dream too much
  Now I'm serving time in disillusionment.
  
  I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
  
  I thought that I knew it all
  I'd seen all the signs before.
  I thought that you were the one
  In darkness my heart was won.
  
  You build me up then you knock me down.
  You play the fool while I play the clown.
  We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum.
  You raise my hopes then you raise the odds
  You tell me that I dream too much
  Now I'm serving time in a domestic graveyard.
  
  I don't believe you anymore...I don't believe you.
  
  Never let it be said I was untrue
  I never found a home inside of you.
  Never let it be said I was untrue
  I gave you all my time.
