Metaphor Lyrics - The Crane Wives

I've gotten good at leaning on metaphor. 

I've gotten good at living on someone else's page. 

I've cut my teeth on secondhand sentiment-- 

You can't trust a single thing I say. 

I keep my closet free of skeletons 

'Cause I'm much better at digging graves 

But I always dig up bones in your sympathy-- 

I can't trust a single thing you say. 

Don't look too hard 

'Cause you won't like the scars 

He left in me. 

I've gotten good at making up metaphors. 

I've gotten good at stretching the truth out of shape 

And all these words are sweet and meaningless-- 

You can't trust a single thing I say 

You can't trust a single thing I say 

You can't trust a single thing I say 

You can't trust a single thing I say
