Fiction

I wrote you in my diary, but you’re just a name Told myself a thousand lies just to feel the same Played the part, we danced the dance, but we never knew That love was just a story, and the pages weren't true I thought that we were something real But now I know we weren’t even what I used to feel You were just fiction, a story in my mind I built you up, but you were never mine All the words we said, all the things we did They were just pieces of a lie we hid You were just fiction, a character I made And in the end, it all starts to fade I wanted you to be something true But baby, you were never really you I tried to make you real, tried to build a home But the house was made of paper, and I was left alone Your smile was my escape, but now I see the truth You were never who you seemed, just a dream I could lose I thought that we were something real But now I know, we weren’t even what I used to feel You were just fiction, a story in my mind I built you up, but you were never mine All the words we said, all the things we did They were just pieces of a lie we hid You were just fiction, a character I made And in the end, it all starts to fade I wanted you to be something true But baby, you were never really you I can see through all the lies now The plot’s been written and we’re not allowed To stay inside the pages we turned I’m letting go of all I’ve learned You were just fiction, a story in my mind I built you up, but you were never mine All the words we said, all the things we did They were just pieces of a lie we hid You were just fiction, a character I made And in the end, it all starts to fade I wanted you to be something true But baby, you were never really you
