love as fiction lyrics

You're crippled like a horse
Fall legless down a hill
Is that your notion?
I've escaped.

With fingernails like chalk
Spill dust into the wind
You're a testament to your own mistakes
You've fallen far into the blackness
Of some stranger's arms
And the coldness of his touch

With so much love to give
But so much more to take
And so vanity that's available exclusively to you

Oh, some love can be fictitious
As if anyone needs to know
Just how long now
Just how long now
Just how long now

I've put words into your mouth
I breathe truths into your ear
But that feeling has been locked to you

I've been lazy in my cave
But it's founded me no gain
It's not fair
So I'll be asleep up to you

Oh, some loves can be fictitious
As if anyone needs to know.
From the sublime to the ridiculous
It's apart from where you know
Oh, some love can be fictitious
As if anyone needs to know
Just how long now
Just how long now
Just how long now

Oh, hey, how long's it gonna take?
How long's it gonna take?
For you to fall
To keep me
I just don't need one more mistake
Some loves, they grow so fictitious now
Some loves, they grow so fictitious now
Some loves, they grow so fictitious
Don't they?
They're so fictitious now

I don't have to walk away
From you
