Every day a different woman sleeps by his side
And every day he tells each one he loves her like a bride
Every night he walks in the house where he's built a family
He tells his wife he loves her alone and they both fall asleep
Oh...
His words are like a refuge for each woman that he sees
But to him his words are like dust that blows away with the breeze
In his heart he knows he could be much more of a man
But he's fed himself the lies that make him doubt he can
And he says
Now I am swimming across an ocean
Dragging a ship by my feet
Cause words on their own become empty emotion
You never know what to believe
Oh...
Now I am swimming across an ocean
Dragging a ship by my feet
Cause words on their own become empty emotion
You never know what to believe
Don't tell me what I should believe
Oh...
