Losing My Religion lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, life is bigger

It's bigger than you and you are not me

The lengths that I will go to the distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

[Pre-Chorus]

That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough

[Chorus]

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

[Verse 2]

Every whisper of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

[Pre-Chorus]

Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century

Consider this the slip that brought me to my knees, failed

What if all these fantasies come flailing around?

Now I've said too much

[Chorus]

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

[Bridge]

But that was just a dream

That was just a dream

[Pre-Chorus]

That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you and I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough

[Chorus]

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

[Outro]

But that was just a dream

Try, cry, why try?

That was just a dream, just a dream

Just a dream, dream
