Lyrics
Bitter times call for white lies, tell me everything's all right and I'll believe you
Bitter times call for deception; asking to be reassured that everything is fine, willing to believe the falsehood.
Treacherous roads at night, broken homeward bound flights
Difficult paths during the night, flights heading home that are broken or disrupted.
We couldn't stand to leave, we couldn't stand not to
The struggle between the desire to stay and the inability to endure leaving.
It's taking me, taking me down, how can it be?
A challenging situation is affecting the speaker profoundly, questioning how this can happen.
Tragedy, tragedy has had a way with me
Tragedy has consistently impacted the speaker's life.
You never see it coming now
Unexpected events or hardships are not anticipated by the speaker.
It's taking me, taking me down, how can it be?
Continuation of the impact of a difficult situation, questioning its inevitability.
Would you believe I can't tell what I'm thinking about?
The speaker is unsure of their own thoughts, seeking understanding.
Everything's destiny, right? Tell me everything happens for a reason and I'll believe you
Questioning the concept of destiny and seeking reassurance that everything has a purpose.
Dangerous, we feel this fight, inside ourselves this urge to fly
A sense of danger is felt within, a conflict urging the speaker to break free.
Tells us to leave, begs us to move
The inner conflict intensifies, torn between staying and moving forward.
Tell me tell me, do I have something to say?
The speaker questions whether they have a meaningful message to convey.
Tell me, do I really have to feel this way?
Expressing uncertainty and discomfort about the emotions the speaker is experiencing.
Well I do, I do, I do now, cause I haven't got a choice when
Acknowledging a lack of choice in feeling a certain way.
It's taking me, taking me down, how can it be?
Reiteration of the impact of a challenging situation, questioning its inevitability.
Tragedy, tragedy has had a way with me
Continued influence of tragedy on the speaker's life.
You never see it coming now
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of hardships.
It's taking me, taking me down, how can it be?
Repeating the impact of a difficult situation, questioning its inevitability.
Would you believe I can't tell what I'm thinking about?
The speaker remains uncertain about their thoughts, seeking understanding.
