Black Birdie - ​fiction lyrics

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
(Oh, oh oh)
My heart’s screaming that it’s in danger
(Oh, oh oh) but by chapter two
I’m thinking about you (O oh)

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

Is it fiction or a life I’ve been given?
It’s like everything you read
In children’s books (Oh oh, yeah)
Is it fiction or a tale that’s forbidden?
(Fiction, oh oh oh, ooh ooh)
It’s old and forgotten
No need to be brought into
My scrеwed point of view

If you made it this far
Thеn we’re at chapter three
We’re alone together, he’s down on one knee
And I guess i said, "yes" (Ooh ooh)
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

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? (Oh oh oh, ooh ooh)

Is it fiction or a life I’ve been given?
(Fiction, given)
‘Cause it’s like everything you
Read in children’s books
Is it fiction or a tale that’s forbidden?
(Fiction, forbidden) it’s old and forgotten
No need to be brought into
My screwed point of view

My screwed point of (O oh)
My screwed point of (Ooh ooh)
My screwed point of view (Ooh ooh)
(My screwed point)

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?

It’s all fiction, it’s the story I’ve written
(Fiction, written)
It’s like everything I read
In children’s books (Oh ooh oh)
It’s fiction, the love story I wished of
(Oh oh ooh oh)
Old and forgotten (Oh ooh ooh, Oh ooh ooh)
No need to be brought into
(Oh ooh ooh, Oh ooh ooh)
My screwed point of view

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
Fiction’s me and you
