Wonderful Lie - Eddi Reader

I remember all of this in slow motion

Every tawdry detail

Dust caught in the sun in your kitchen

Empty words, saying nothing

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

A church behind a road, a couple kissing

Both of us know what that means

I’d rather have that kiss than what is missing

Say anything you like and i’ll believe you

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What’s the truth ever done for me?

I don’t know

So tell me again

Tell me again

Tell me again

This wonderful lie

All i want is something i can’t have

And if you can’t tell the truth

Then make it a wonderful lie

I see you dance with all your heroes

Each different doll in judy garland shoes

And if they can dance

Then why, oh why, can’t i?

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

I nearly forgot who i was

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What a wonderful lie

What’s the truth ever done for me?

I don’t know

So tell me again

Tell me again

Tell me again

Tell me again

This wonderful lie

This wonderful lie

This wonderful lie
