The lights spin round before my eyes I feel so lost I want to cry And all I see in your eyes is goodbye Goodbye I feel with every part of me I'm feeling things I could not see That are now happening to me Happening to me In love we get left behind Love you're no friend of mine Reality bites And then it stings The truth will shut down everything I know it's crazy, I know it hurts We're like a love song in reverse Inside my head your words they ring My life like glass it's shattering We say it's for the best And we have to be honest And so I watch you walking away And all my plans they start to fade Through the strobes that pierce And shine right through my tears In love we get left behind Love you're no friend of mine Reality bites And then it stings The truth will shut down everything I know it's crazy, I know it hurts We're like a love song in reverse And so we know the love is gone I guess it's time we moved on Reality bites And then it stings The truth will shut down everything I know it's crazy, I know it hurts We're like a love song in reverse Reality bites And shows the truth And then it punches into you I know it's crazy, and it gets worse We're like a love song in reverse
