if you don’t take me back I’ll have to believe
that all love is just a mirage
if you don’t look in my eyes and love for you see
then all love is just a mirage

it’s a mirage that nothing bad is happening in the world
it’s a mirage all that matters is you lost the girl
it’s a mirage you must solve your own problems first
before solving a bigger one that’s worst

my friend Sean loved someone who tied a noose around his neck
they had to wake him up in the dead man’s bed
Sean was told his lover went to where no one from returns
he heard song outside from a passing bird

go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
I know all you really are is a mirage

if you don’t read what I write, I’ll have to believe
that all words are just a mirage
if don’t hear what I sing and believe everything
then all words are just a mirage

it’s a mirage that everything broken will be fixed
it’s a mirage that truth and lies never will be mixed
it’s a mirage that family will always be around
and that those we love won’t let us down

when her mother got sick, I asked San for advice
he had to watch his mother too slow from cancer die
the problem isn’t the sickness is what Sean said
problem is ability to know the end

go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
I know all you really are is a mirage

if you don’t show me feelings well then I guess that it means
that all hope is just a mirage
but if there’s one left that you know, please let it be shown
or all hope is just a mirage

it’s a mirage that everything is going to be better
it’s a mirage that we are all going to live forever
and you will admit we could be happy
and you’ll say again you love me

I’m so sad to think of you and all that you’ve been through
and that my comfort you couldn’t use
but pain felt between partners can’t just be turned off
even if the pain you say is my mirage

go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
go away little sparrow, spare me your barrage
I know all you really are is a mirage

I understand now how life can seem like darkness
covered by mirage after mirage
and what if thought of death as a peaceful end
is really too just a mirage?
