History / Fiction lyrics

I told you all that i wanted to say And you believed all you wanted to hear. Our little fictions helped to break up the day They keep us warm and they keep back the fear. And to know, could have thrown us out of sync Like breathing when you try too hard And to know, could have shaken us away Made us see it as a waste of time Waste of time Waste of time We're not our personal history book Start again when we get to the end And it's a fiction like all history It's been distorted until it makes sense And to know, could have blown us out of sync Like breathing when you try too hard And to know, could have shaken us away Made us see it as a waste of time But to know, could have thrown us out of sync But it never was a waste of time Waste of time
