It Was Lyrics

It was a lonely night for me

It was another kick in the can

It was celebrated unceremoniously

It was nothing you could ever understand

It was something that felt natural, but

It was not quite so right after all

It was something that felt quite real

It was a headfirst tumble and fall

It was far more than I ever wanted

It was far more than I ever deserved

It was far greater than a whisper

But it was barely even a word

It was simple, twist of fate

It was a whiter, more pale of blue

It was a thing that you could not take

It was brought upon by you

It was a distance warm glow in the night

It was a great big release

It was a soft, cold, bitter cry

It was just a fantasy

It was something that came without warning

It was nothing I needed to earn

It was something I needed to forget

It was nothing I could ever put into words

It was all I wanted to gain

It was nothing you could receive

It was a sad, strange little game

It was an attempt to deceive

It can't even happen

But it never even existed at all

An unbalanced chemical reaction

It's a sad, sad call

And I can't even finish this song

Cause I'm afraid I'm gonna get to the truth

And now I'm afraid it won't be too long

For you to find out I'm singing to you…
