Storyteller

(album: No Apologies - 2010)

Holding my breath as I patiently wait
What could come next
You turned on a light in my gullible mind
I let you inside
Just like a child imagining what could be
I let it run wild
I was naive
It's too good to be true
Still I believed

You told me what I wanted to hear
Your words paint pictures so sincere
Well some things aren't as they appear
the fantasy is over

Storyteller storyteller
Telling tales so tall
A witness so false
Storyteller storyteller
You lead your audience on
For your fiction they fall
Believing the fraud

innocense lost
I was safe and secure
Now it's all gone
sorry I lied
Is that all you can say
sorry I tried
I was convinced
By the sweetest of talk
Not to resist
You'll be exposed
By the people you played
watch it unfold

You told me what I wanted to hear
Your words paint pictures so sincere
Well some things aren't as they appear
the fantasy is over

Storyteller storyteller
Telling tales so tall
A witness so false
Storyteller storyteller
You lead your audience on
For your fiction they fall
Believing the fraud

You told me what I wanted to hear
Your words paint pictures so sincere
