Pretty words

I hear you singing my praises
Are they just pretty words?
I know what I deserve and you
Have been too kind

I hear you playing your scales
Soon to be lost in another tall tale

You don’t have to lie, but you do it anyway
As if it’s what you meant to say
If I’m not a fool for you
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool

I can’t help it
If I’m dragging you down
Don’t seem to be a thing
That’s not unraveling
But you don’t seem to mind

Been so wasted
Most of the time
But when they ask, you tell em
She does fine, yeah
She’s alright

You don’t have to lie, but you do it anyway
As if it’s what you meant to say
If I’m not a fool for you
I’m just a fool
I’m just a fool
