Darling this is far from fiction
And your wanderlust addiction is making it hard
To position my words in such a way they make you want to stay
'Cause this is far from a fairy tail
I get caught up in every stupid detail
'Cause I can't help but ruin everything as we live through it
So it might as well be fiction
It's not like you ever listen
Okay, I lied
But are we really surprised this time?
'Cause there I was with shifty eyes
Shrugging shoulders, checking time
Thought it was pretty clear to me
Why do you ever believe me?
No one in this world is free
Don't wanna lie, you make me
Not totally honest, some of it's true
Of course I'm not in love with you
So when you see my pupils multiply
It's just because of the stupid sun blinding my stupid eyes
And no I wasn't staring at you face, just staring off into space
Darling I'm not doing fine, not doing well
Living in this handcrafted hell
Why can't you read between the lines?
I'm without a spine, so I can't just come right out and tell
Darling this is far from heartache
Wish there was something I could just take
To rewind all my mistakes
And scramble this godforsaken cursed cassette tape
'Cause there I am pacing again
You're in my bed, I'm in the kitchen
Seems to me we're just good friends
But rules I bend just to pretend
You're not my missing puzzle piece
You're not the last thing that I see
At night when I dream of the truth
Of course I'm not in love with you
So when you see my pupils multiply
It's just because of the stupid sun blinding my stupid eyes
And no I wasn't staring at you face, just staring off into space
But darling I'm not doing fine, not doing well
Living in this handcrafted hell
Why can't you read between the lines?
I'm without a spine, so I can't just come right out and tell
Darling this is far from anything in the realm of possibilities
I'm lacking in humility
I'm congratulating myself for reaching the forbidden jar of cookies on the deadliest top shelf
I was told to stay away from
Bad news...
Bad news...
Don't let something or someone get too close to you
'Cause here I am, the same old plot
The story's finished, but I'm not
My feelings there in plain sight
I guess I didn't do this right
So when you saw my pupils multiply
Did you really think it was the sun blinding my eyes?
Darling I couldn't be less fine, really not doing well
Living in this handcrafted hell
Feeling lost although I'm found
Out of hiding, turn around
Face to face with the truth
You caught me
I'm in love with you
