Wonderful Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I remember all of this in slow motion
Every tawdry detail
Dust caught in the sun in your kitchen
Empty words, saying nothing
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
A church behind a road, a couple kissing
Both of us know what that means
I'd rather have that kiss than what is missing
Say anything you like and i'll believe you
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie
All i want is something i can't have
And if you can't tell the truth
Then make it a wonderful lie
I see you dance with all your heroes
Each different doll in judy garland shoes
And if they can dance
Then why, oh why, can't i?
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
