Three Words

from Home Outtakes by City Fiction

/

lyrics

(One of the first songs I wrote)

Letting the skin uncover the lenses we call eyes
Don't we all feel that it's sometimes pointless to get out
Out of the soft security we call our beds and
Into a world that screws us over because it can

Don't we all wish that we could all live like an open window
Be open enough so that we could be read like a children's' book
Instead we lock up so no one can read our true selves
Rewrite the chapters to become what everyone else wants

Don't we all try to make it alright with the words we say
When we should just shut our mouths rather than try to fix them to make one stay
We lie through our teeth as if experimenting as a last resort
The final retort is nothing more than that three word phrase

Those words will never sound as sweet
As the first time they were said to me
But it never tastes as bittersweet
When I swallow them down

What have I done to me?
Never thought it'd be so poisoning
I require all your sympathies
I need them now

These words could you now please repeat
I promise it won't mean a thing
It's not so hard there's only three
Let them escape from your mouth

What have I done to me?
I am nothing of what I swore to be
I have only made my own disease
And I fall apart
