I Talk a Pretty Story
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'll forget my troubles, start my life anew
Make a new beginning, forget the past and you
I'll burn all my bridges, a- leaving you behind
Find myself a new love, free you from my mind
I talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's true
That any man could always take the place of you
I talk a pretty story, but I'm not really me
'Cause my pretty, pretty story can never be
I'll tell him it's over, over with and done
Tell him I'm happy, and I'm the lucky one
A fun while it lasted, that's the way I play
Love 'em and leave 'em, can't get hurt that way
I talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's true
That any man could always take the place of you
I talk a pretty story, but I'm not really me
'Cause my pretty, pretty story can never be
