we died so i lied
so the world would think we’re alive
they never caught on
they just kept on singing along

now i know that it’s true
i can tell by the things you do
was i wrong all along
to let them hear my song

i live for me in life’s great mystery
i look for myself
i don’t care about anyone else

except for you and me
and i know what we’re gonna be
yeah i know we’ll survive
but they’ll have to know we’re alive

we died so i lied
so the world would think we’re alive
they never caught on
they just kept on singing along
with you and me in life’s big harmony
yeah I know we’re a team
it’s always been you and me
for so long, but when i’m gone
you’ll always have my song
