Lyrical Lies Lyrics - Singles - Cute Is What We Aim For

A old man gave me a tip he said 

Dont waste your time with politics, he said 

Just chase skirts instead 

And life is too short, and your almost dead, he said 

I met a woman once, gave her my best shot 

But never did I talk, talk and talk 

If I had her back Id be as real as my age 

I so dont blame them, I wouldnt do the same 

But I can blame them, Id sing her this 

And you want to be dressed in poetry 

But imagery doesnt fit 

And you want resizing 

But darling dear, get a grip 

And I think what I just wrote is going over my head 

Im stealing lines from myself 

And what I said was never said 

It's just a lyrical lie, made up in my mind 

You want to be dressed in poetry 

But imagery doesnt fit 

And you want resizing 

But darling dear, get a grip 

Youre moving but not aware 

Youre drowsy without a care 

Except keeping your whites behind your lids 

And your lids are your best canvas 

I can only imagine what you're painting, what you're painting 

And your body on my mattress is proof 

And your makeup on your pillow is proof 

But do you think I am telling you the truth? 

It's just a lyrical lie, made up in my mind 

And you want to be dressed in poetry 

But imagery doesnt fit 

And you want resizing 

But darling dear, get a grip 

And you want to be dressed in poetry 

But imagery doesnt fit 

And you want resizing 

But darling dear, get a grip
