Woke up, today to everything grey
And all that I saw just kept going on and on
Sweep all the pieces under the bed
Close all the curtains and cover my head
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you?
If this serenade
(Repeat after me)
(Just a little bit closer)
Is not what you want
(Do what is sane)
(Caught up in a lie)
It's just how it is
(Won't change a thing)
(Got a little bit colder)
It keeps going on and on
Come out, come out where ever you are
Would you do it all over right from the start
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you?
Once had this dream, crashed down in oz
Not black and white, but where the colors are
I never dreamed that I would let her go
And I will get what I deserve
Keep all the secrets under the bed
Open the curtains, forget what I said
And what you wished for could come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you?
So what you wished for could come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you?
