Shoe Box

A key in the door

a step on the floor

A note on the table

and a meal in the micro

Note says I'm in bed

please make sure that you're fed

If you're taking a shower

you can borrow my bathrobe

When I'm asleep I dream you

move in next week

I crumple the note and save

it to put inside

My shoe box

Shoe box of lies

Shoe box

Shoe box of lies

It's under my bed

it's never been read

It's in with my school stuff

and my mom never cleans there

From my first little fib

when I still wore a bib

To my latest attempt at

pretending I'm someone

Who's not seventeen

doesn't know what you mean

When talk turns to single malts

shoe box

Shoe box of lies

Shoe box

Shoe box of lies

shoe box

Shoe box of lies

Shoe box

Shoe box of lies

It's under my bed

it's never been read

It's in with my school stuff

Or did you just find it

And you don't want any

more from me

Was it something I said

or was it something you read

That's making me think that

I should never have come here

I can offer you lies

I can tell you goodbye

I can tell you I'm sorry

But I can't tell you the truth

dear

And what if I could

would it do any good

You'll still never get to

see the contents of

My shoe box

Shoe box

My shoe box of lies

Shoe box

Shoe box

My shoe box of lies

You're so nineteen ninety

And it's nineteen ninety four

Leave this world behind me

'Cause you don't want me anymore

Lie lie lie lie

Lie lie lie

Lie lie lie lie
