I heard a story Its too hard to mention I heard a thing once I cant even say I had a moment Of doubtful suspension But its almost forgotten Its been pulled away Chorus By too many hands Touching where I stand And I cant fall Because youll try and catch me Never let me go You dont think I know Ive heard it all And so youll never scratch my skin I heard a boy say Its all my invention A fictional statement Its all in my head All I can tell you My only pretension Was in thinking you listened To me when I said Chorus Ive heard your paltering and your lies And it wont go away when I close my eyes Do you think of me when Im no where near When you shut your mouth tell me what you hear Ive heard it all Ive heard it all Ive heard it Somebody called me A paranoid angel From on the other Side of the wall You might be special But its too late to change now Cause it isnt the first time Ive heard it all For too many years To relieve my fears So Im advising you To get away and fast If its my mistake Then the blame Ill take Youre not the first And you wont be the last Chorus
