Pretty Lies

Father's tell such pretty lies to little girls
 Life is good and life is fair for little girls
 When you smile and close your eyes
 The pretty lies seem true
 I saw my life perfectly it would be
 Smoother than glass everything in its place
 Order and calm
 Wedding ring easy grace
 All of my dreams in my reach coming true
 Albert and me
 Doing the things lover's do
 I saw my life prosperous
 Safe and sound
 Father and me passing time, skies a blue
 Mother would be happy I'm happy too
 Life would say on
 Pretty lies full of bliss
 I saw my life changing
 But never changing like this
 Such pretty lies masquerading as duty and honor
 Everything dies even little girl story book plans and dreams and
 Give me the world
 Finally as it is
 Not black and white
 Compromise as it is
 Not wrong or right
 Pretty lies as it is
 Albert and me
 Little girl, foolish boy
 Willing to live like a man who is willing to die
 To justify
 His pretty lie
