The way this narrative's unfolding
I've got in way above my head,
sense I'm about to be held to account for
some things I never did, some words I never said.
I can tell you're keen to hold my attention
though my concentration's starting to fade
as you set out your stall and say that you're ready
to wait for the pay-out on promises I never made.
Don't know where this is going,
I don't know if we're speeding up or slowing down.
You haven't read the questions,
I haven't got the answers now,
it looks as though we've run aground.
Better bring it on, get the motor running;
surely we don't belong, but let's pretend anyway.
So the story's gone wrong no-one saw it coming -
moving along will we be moving away
to another life where we might not be strangers?
Might be husband and wife, might find our future a**ured?
Time and tide that's enticed, none of that could change us.
Oh but you don't think twice, just make up what's gone before.
I don't know where that came from,
a strange imagination's got
a stranglehold on you.
You talk as if you know me:
in reality you haven't got
the faintest clue.
And now this narrative's exploding,
through a merry dance your fantasies have sped.
Still you say my words are in your heart forever:
"I'll always love you....".
That wasn't what I said.
