It's Not What They Said Lyrics - The Moment - Framing Hanley

Like a foggy mirror 

Where receptions blurred 

And things could stand to be clearer 

Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye 

If I could be the man on your shoulder 

A guide as you grow older 

I'd sleep so much easier tonight 

Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings 

Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning 

And it's not what they said and it's not what we read 

And all the promises they made us 

Are left shattered on the ground 

And your defense 

You've done no wrong 

And live life in innocence 

So how could they have looked you in the eye?

If I could be the man on your shoulder 

To watch you as you grow older 

I'd sleep so much easier tonight 

Close your eyes they'll tell a story of happy endings 

Close your eyes re-write the story a new beginning 

And it's not what they said and it's not what we read 

And all the promises they made us 

Are left shattered on the ground 

And it's not what they said it's not what we read 

And all the promises they made us 

Are left shattered on the ground 

It's on the ground 

And when the cards are down 

It's safe to say that all bets are off 

It's on the ground 

And when the cards are down 

Well it's time to play it's hard to say 

So bet all call 

Photos 

It's not what they said and it's not what we read 

And all the promises they made us 

Are left shattered on the ground 

It's not what they said and it's not what we read 

And all the promises they made us 

Are left shattered on the ground 

Shattered on the ground 

And all the cards are down 

Everything they told us 

Has always been so wrong 

So wrong so wrong 

So wrong
