The Idea of You - Nine Inch Nails

Maybe that was somebody else

Maybe I was somebody else

I’m sorry, for what it’s worth, if that means anything anymore

I think there’s something just wrong with me

I have been wondering, when, when did you know?

You know, really know?

No no no, I don’t think that’s going to happen here

You missed all that on the way out

Remember, I don’t want to remember anymore

Maybe I was somebody else?

Just go back to the idea of me

Just go back to the idea of me

Just go back to the idea of me

Just-

(Wait!) None of this is happening

(Wake!) None of this is happening

(Breathe!) None of this is happening

(Believe!) None of this is happening

Hey, you tell yourself!

Oh and

If I start to tell you anything, please don’t pay attention

That’s not really me in there, I would never do that

Just go back to the idea of me

Go back to that idea

Can you even hear me over here?

Can’t you feel it happening?

Everything absorbing liquid

Twitching, forming something terrible

The sores are gone

And you can hardly tell now but

There was someone else who isn’t here anymore

(Wait!) None of this is happening

(Wake!) None of this is happening

(Breathe!) None of this is happening

(Believe!) None of this is happening

Hey, you tell yourself!

(Wait!) None of this is happening

(Wake!) None of this is happening

(Breathe!) None of this is happening

(Believe!) None of this is happening

Hey, you tell yourself!

(Wait!) None of this is happening

(Wake!) None of this is happening

(Breathe!) None of this is happening

(Believe!) None of this is happening

Hey, you tell yourself!

(Wait!) None of this is happening

(Wake!) None of this is happening

(Breathe!) None of this is happening

(Believe!) None of this is happening

Hey, you tell yourself!

Hey, can you hear?

(Can you hear?)

It gets (it gets) so lonely in here

Hey, can you hear?

(Can you hear?)

It gets (it gets) so lonely in here
