[Lyric] ​fiction (Black Birdie)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Gather around, let me tell you a story
It’s endless and dreadful and painfully boring
About my life
My long uneventful life
Chapter one starts with me meeting a stranger
My heart’s screaming that it’s in danger
But by chapter two
I’m thinking about you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’m turning the pages to skip to the ending
So I can know if this is just you pretending
If this is make-believe

[Chorus 1]
Is it fiction or a life I’ve been given?
It’s like everything you read in children’s books
Is it fiction or a tale that’s forbidden?
It’s old and forgotten
No need to be brought into
My screwеd point of view
[Verse 2]
If you made it this far, then wе’re at chapter three
We’re alone together, he’s down on one knee
And I guess
I said, “yes”
Book four and book five, we’re building a life
Started a family, living alright
Just my prince our two kids
It just can’t be correct

[Pre-Chorus 2]
As I’m turning the pages to skip to the ending
So I can know if this is just you pretending
Is this all make-believe?

[Chorus 1]
Is it fiction or a life I’ve been given?
‘Cause it’s like everything you read in children’s books
Is it fiction or a tale that’s forbidden?
It’s old and forgotten
No need to be brought into
My screwed point of view

[Post-Chorus]
My screwed point of (Ooh)
My screwed point of (Ooh-ooh)
My screwed point of view (Ooh-ooh)
(My screwed point-)
[Verse 3]
And just as you thought I was done
There’s a twist to this story
I don’t have a prince and I don’t live in glory
Just me and my bed
It was all in my head
There was never a saga, there’s no happy ending
The truth is I’m far gone, can’t dream of my wedding
‘Cause I have no love but
What the hell is love anyway?

[Chorus 2]
It’s all fiction, it’s the story I’ve written
It’s like everything I read in children’s books
It’s fiction, the love story I wished of
Old and forgotten
No need to be brought into
My screwed point of view

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh
Fiction’s me and you
