One lie too many
Maybe it had to be told
Oh what a shame
Broke the fastidiously
Constructed mold
One dream too many
Standing in your faded gown
Oh what a pain
Pieced together delicately
Watching it all fall down
One day too many
Living against the grain
Oh go ahead
Remain a stranger to me
Bring on the pounding rain.
