Losing My Religion (R.E.M. cover) Lyrics

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
I'm losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Cry, cry, why
But I think I saw you try

Consider this, consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said, now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Cry, cry, why
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream

Cover art for Losing My Religion (R.E.M. cover) lyrics by Lacuna Coil

This song describes my life perfect. To me, it feels like what it is like to grow up in a christian family and one day realizing religion is nonsense. You put on a front for so long, make people think you still believe just to make them happy. One day you confess and your family shuns you for your behavior and all you wanted was acceptance. Welcome to southern baptist mentality.
