Lyrics
OASIS
I wasn’t out to find forever.
I’d been down that road before.
No one knows the heartbreak trail better than I do.
So I was aimless in the desert
When your rain began to pour.
Your love was supposed to soothe me.
Oh, no—it couldn’t have burned me more.
CHORUS:
You said you were my OASIS
And that it was real—you knew, you KNEW.
How can the falsest of embraces
Be the ones that feel so true?
And if you were just a mirage—
What I was to you?
I didn’t need that kind of passion.
I’d have gladly stayed at bay.
No one keeps a heart in check better than I do.
But I was canvas to your brush stroke,
And you drew me out to stay.
Didn’t know there’d be a whitewash.
Oh, yeah—I just watched you walk away.
REPEAT CHORUS
The way we wonder when we lose love
Was it ever really there?
The way you swore you swore you loved me.
Oh, yeah, was it really real? Did you ever really care?
REPEAT CHORUS
