Not Stranger Than Fiction

That kind of excuse Not something I'd use And never this way Could think of a lie 'Bout what happened that night And where I'm today But when the truth doesn't hurt No fanciful words It's no kind of fun Still trying my best To fail your test Not stranger than fiction Tried hard not to move For feeling the fool And falling for you Where once we were lost These lies you can trust I wrote them for you And if it's over the top Just tell me to stop Or I'll carry on and on and on Still trying to glean Just quite what you mean Not stranger than fiction
