Vital Signs – I Thought It Was What You Wanted To Hear Lyrics

Can I go through with it this time?
Send the foundation into ruins.
Would you rather live a lie?
Well, this lie is just for you.

This lie is just for you.

Don't miss the action. Hold onto this one.
Wait longer.
What's your reaction? Dissatisfaction?
It's not over.

I only said it 'cause I thought it's what you wanted to hear.
I still regret it, and it's something that I'll always fear.
I thought I knew it, but to me it wasn't fully clear.
If you didn't like it, then know that I was not sincere.

It's all good until you strain the meaning of what I had to say.
I might have meant it, but I didn't mean for you to hear it that way.
A real quick cover up.
The phone clicks. Was that enough?
A classic example of trial and error,
If I hadn't learned by now then we wouldn't be here.
But if the patterns didn't match, forget it all, to you I swear?
