That kind of excuse
Not something I’d use
And never this way
Could think of a lie
‘Bout what happened that night
And where I’m today
But when the truth doesn’t hurt
No fanciful words
It’s no kind of fun
Still trying my best
To fail your test
Not stranger than fiction

Tried hard not to move
For feeling the fool
And falling for you
Where once we were lost
These lies you can trust
I wrote them for you
And if it’s over the top
Just tell me to stop
Or I’ll carry on and on and on
Still trying to glean
Just quite what you mean

Not stranger than fiction
