I see through a mist, I see through your tears Before you existed, you disappeared You do yourself harm, and you cause yourself pain I used to believe everything could be explained But you are a mystery I ask you no questions, so you'll tell me no lies The silence is frozen, but you can't tell me why So much to lose, so little to gain I used to believe everything could be explained Right down through history Single word of darkness weighing on your tongue Lets me know I'm lost before I'm even begun Beating your retreat out of the sun, ooh For loving or for money, from shipwreck to shore To the ends of the earth, there's a world outside your door I lay a ghost while you lay the blame I used to believe everything could be explained Now it's lost on me Planet struck, openmouthed Am I still drinkin'? Am I headed south? Should I feel guilty? Should I be ashamed? I used to believe everything could be explained But you are a mystery
