君へ捧げる嘘の歌詞

AN OLD MAN GAVE ME A TIP HE SAID
"DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH POLITICS" HE SAID
"JUST CHASE SKIRTS INSTEAD
LIFE IS TOO SHORT, AND YOU'RE ALMOST DEAD "HE SAID
"I MET A WOMAN ONCE, I GAVE HER MY BEST SHOT
BUT NEVER DID I TALK
IF I HAD HER BACK I'D BE AS REAL AS MY AGE
I SO DON'T BLAME THEM, I WOULDN'T DO THE SAME
BUT I CAN BLAME THEM, I'D SING HER THIS"

YOU WANT TO BE DRESSED IN POETRY
BUT IMAGERY DOESN'T FIT
AND YOU WANT RESIZING
BUT DARLING DEAR GET A GRIP

AND I THINK WHAT I JUST WROTE IS GOING OVER MY HEAD
I'M STEALING LINES FROM MYSELF
AND WHAT I SAID WAS NEVER SAID
IT'S JUST A LYRICAL LIE
MADE UP IN MY MIND

AND YOU WANT TO BE DRESSED IN POETRY
BUT IMAGERY DOESN'T FIT
AND YOU WANT RESIZING
BUT DARLING DEAR GET A GRIP

YOU'RE MOVING BUT NOT AWARE
YOU'RE DROWSY WITHOUT A CARE
EXCEPT KEEPING YOUR WHITES BEHIND YOUR LIDS
AND YOUR LIDS ARE YOUR BEST CANVAS
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU'RE PAINTING
AND YOUR BODY ON MY MATTRESS IS PROOF
AND YOUR MAKEUP ON YOUR PILLOW IS PROOF
BUT DO YOU THINK I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH
IT'S JUST A LYRICAL LIE
MADE UP IN MY MIND

AND YOU WANT TO BE DRESSED IN POETRY
BUT IMAGERY DOESN'T FIT
AND YOU WANT RESIZING
BUT DARLING DEAR GET A GRIP
