[Verse 1]

           
 Oh, life is b

            
igger.  It's b

              
igger than you

           
 and you are n

ot me.  The le

ngths 
            
that I will go

              
 to, the dista

             
nce in your ey

           
es.  Oh no, I'

             
ve said too mu


ch.  I set 
             
it up.  That's

            
 me in the cor

              
ner.  That's m

            
e in the spotl

              
ight.  Losing 

      
my religion.
            
Trying to keep

              
 up with you a

            
nd I don't kno

              
w if I can do 

            
it.  Oh no, I'

              
ve said too
            
much.  I haven

           
't said enough

.


[Chorus]
              
I thought that

              
 I heard you l

             
aughing.  I th

              
ought that I h

           
eard you sing.

             
  I think I th

        
ought
       
I saw you try.


[Verse 2]

           
    Every whis

              
per of every w

            
aking hour, I'

              
m choosing my 

            
confessions.  

         
Trying to keep

 an eye
              
on you like a 

            
hurt, lost and

              
 blinded fool.

            
  Oh.  Oh no, 

              
I've said too 

            
much.  I set i

  
t up.  
            
Consider this,

              
 consider this

            
 the hint of t

              
he century.  C

            
onsider this, 

              
the slip, that

   
 brought
              
me to my knees

            
 failed.  What

              
 if all these 

              
fantasies come

       
, flailing aro

und?  And now,

 I've 
         
said, too much

.


[Chorus]

              
I thought that

              
 I heard you l

             
aughing.  I th

              
ought that I h

           
eard you sing.

             
  I think I th

        
ought
       
I saw you try.

[Verse 3]

             
But that was j

            
ust a dream.  

             
That was just 

     
a dream.
              
That's me in t

            
he corner.  Th

              
at's me in the

            
 spotlight.  L

            
osing my relig

ion.  Trying t

o
            
keep up with y

            
ou and I don't

              
 know if I can

            
 do it.  Oh no

              
, I've said to

            
o much.  I hav

   
en't 
       
said enough.


[Chorus]

              
I thought that

              
 I heard you l

             
aughing.  I th

              
ought that I h

           
eard you sing.

             
  I think I th

        
ought
       
I saw you try.


[Verse 4]

           
    But that w

          
as just a drea

           
m.  Try.  Cry.

              
  Why?  Try.  

             
That was just 

         
a dream, just 

   
a dream,
         
just a dream, 

dream.
