You're All Telling Stories

You look like you just lost your dearest friend
Played a round of a sisterly game called “pretend”
The dice landed on feelings not returned
I was a fool I didn't learn
Close to the fire felt the burn.

This is a tale ‘bout loyalty to me
A friendship's end, of course, amicably
I must apologize for my cold goodbye
This is my life, the reason why
You're not allowed here back inside.

I remember when I first laid eyes on you
I thought here's one that understands my truth
You seemed as openly-closed as myself
I felt intrigued I felt unwell
I had no choice I had to tell.

But once entrusted with my biggest fears
I've questioned where I've had you through the years
You kept a portion of my heart to sell
You did not treat it very well
Although I begged you not to tell.

You're all telling stories
You're all telling lies
How come you're so blurry?
You're all in disguise.

There are some people you'll know all your life
A constant group that leave you feeling safe
But I have learned that some are there to change you
Leave you wiser, rearranged but then are better left estranged.

I heard you met him out the other night
And drunkenly expressed with all your might
That you still miss our friendship but abstain from taking action
Still the same, I don't miss fractions, can't complain.

You're all telling stories
You're all telling lies
How come you're so blurry?
You're all in disguise.
