There are no stories I can tell
No words could make up for how I feel
Who wants fables if happy ends don’t come true
Should I play pretend, should I fool you?

There are no stories I can tell
No words could make up for how I feel
Who wants fables when happy ends don’t come true
Should I play pretend, should I fool you?

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay

So many novels, so much poetry
Not one reflects this unclear mentality
No one wants a movie with an end all rushed through
Should I play pretend should I fool you

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay

When we parted at the gates
No, I didn’t hesitate
There’d still be more days
But those times never came
When I concentrate
I take on all the more weight
In long-forgotten estates no one dare claim
All this useless vocabulary
All these languages that don’t know what I mean
No one wants fairy tales where the witches all rule
Should I play pretend should I fool you
There are no stories I can tell
No words could make up for how I feel

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say, if I could find any door
Create the songs that make you stay
There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay
