Story behind the song
Wrote this after a weekend of heavy drinking. Decided it was time for a change of lifestyle.
Lyrics
Time will only tell. How long this dream can last. I've been lying to myself. Living way too fast. How can I pretend? To be in control of my life. When I'm not. How can I pretend? That somehow I'll come out on top. When I know. Been there before don't want to be there again. Standing in the Rain and lying to myself. How can I pretend? I'm just lying to myself. I can never tell, when I've had enough. These illusions in my mind. Really make it tough. How can I pretend? This is how my life was meant to be. How can I pretend? I can deny what is plain to see. Been there before don't want to be there again. Standing in the rain and lying to myself. How can I pretend? I'm just lying to myself. I can hardly wait. To see what lies ahead. I lay awake at night. With visions in my head. How can I pretend? To be in control of my life. When I'm not. How can I pretend? That somehow I'll come out on top. When I know. Been there before don't want to be there again. Standing in the Rain and lying to myself. How can I pretend? I'm just lying to myself.
