about

For Sharon.

lyrics

I didn't know who I was, didn't have a single clue
So I tried to be more than what I thought
I should be to you
I changed the way that I dressed, I adopted a different pose
I remember you asked me where
I got my clothes, I so wanted to prove myself
Wanted to be your number one
You liked me because you thought that I was so much fun

Well I wrote it all down and it sounded so good
I used verbs and nouns just the best that I could
And I made it all up, made it all up
For you, for you, for you, for you
Well you read it all through and it sounded so fine
All our stars in the sky well they seemed to align
But I made it all up, made it all up
For you, for you, for you, for you

We would go out on the town, we would go to fancy affairs
We'd dance and sing and carry on with our fancy airs
People looked up to like a queen and I was your little king
Even though none of it meant any fucking goddamn thing
I loved to play along and you so loved your part
I guess that's why we were doomed from the start

I made it all up, I’ll admit it
I am the one who went and did it, did it, did it
I made it all up, I won't deny it
But you were the one who would buy it

I didn't know who I was, didn't have a single clue
So I went made a life that resembled something true
You went right along with it all
You implied that it was OK
Who are we but a figment or phantom anyway
We couldn't be happier, no need to wonder why
What does it matter if it's all really just a lie
