Let me see through all the lights 
I know I'll feel better in time 
You should have told me a lie 
I'll tell you why, I don't know 
What was going through my head 
 
Now things have cleared, I'm not dead 
Now that I've settled in bed 
You should have told me a lie 
I'll tell you why, I don't know 
What was going through my head 
 
What if I walked off the line?
What if I never revived?
You should have told me a lie 
I'll tell you why, I don't know 
What was going through my head 

You know, it should have been red 
You know, I should have been led 
 
Down in, deep inside, I am safer 
Now and then I want to fly 
Away from everything, on my own 
On my way through the night 
 
I wake up, I don't know where I've been 
And then I'll start over again 
You should have told me a lie 
I'll tell you why, I don't know 
What was going through my head 

You know, it should have been red 
You know, I should have been led 
You know, I could have been dead
