It wasn't worth pretending
I noticed when the movie finished
You caught me watching you

No offence intended
None was taken you were certain
I'm not sure what to believe

Got me shaking like a leaf
You know
I've landed on my knees too often
A fact I'm failing to disguise

Another poor distraction
Approaching you more of a fashion
You laugh politely so well

I've got a gift collecting
Stories that just aren't worth telling
And sometimes stretch the truth

Which is what I'll always do
To hide
A catalogue of non adventure
I do my best to sweep aside

Got me shaking like a leaf
You know
I've landed on my knees too often
But not so much that I won't try

I've landed on my knees too often
I'll dust myself off one more time
