Lie, Memory, Lie

(Robbie Fulks)
V.1
THOUGHT I’D MADE A CLEAN BREAK FROM HER
AND ALL THE PAST WAS THROUGH
I THOUGHT THE NIGHTS OF HURT WERE NUMBERED
I NEVER COUNTED ON YOU
BR
YOU WERE WAITING TO ATTACK ME
JUST WHEN THE DAY WENT DARK
THROWING MY FOOL WORDS BACK AT ME
AIN’T YOU GOT NO HEART
CH.1
LIE, MEMORY, LIE
DON’T PAINT A PICTURE THAT’LL MAKE ME CRY
DON’T REMIND ME OF THE THINGS I SAY
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON, ANYWAY
MEMORY, WHEN YOU TALK OF LOVE
TELL ME WHAT I WANT, NOT THE WAY IT WAS
DRESS IT UP SO IT SUITS MY PRIDE
LIE, MEMORY, LIE
V.2
TOLD HER SHE WAS GETTING TOO NEAR ME
I NEEDED ROOM FROM HER
NOW I SEE IT ALL TOO CLEARLY
SHE WAS MORE THAN I DESERVED
BR
AMNESIA WOULDN’T BE SO BRUTAL
AS THIS TOTAL RECALL
IF YOU CAN’T SAY SOMETHING UNTRUTHFUL
MEMORY, DON’T YOU TALK AT ALL
