Is It Really True?

The rats are fat in this big old house — the ivy’s growing wild
Making lonely rings in the corridor.
All the kids in the neighborhood swear there are ghosts in here,
But I’m the only ghost that I know.
Is it really true that two can feel like one?
So many things that I’ve been taught
I’ve been a sucker for having bought.
Now what I want from you — is who — I can blame
for starting such a lie — or is it really true?
I’ve got friends looking out for me with worry in their eyes.
They tell me I should go out and find someone.
But God knows I’ve had lovers before and I can’t stand the pain
Of seeing all my dreams melting in the sun.
Is it really true that two can feel like one?
So many things that I’ve been taught
I’ve been a sucker for having bought.
Now what I want from you — is who — I can blame
for starting such a lie — or is it really true?
