Fiction Lyrics

I have a thorn stuck in my side

If I could dig it out I'd dream in peace tonight

I've had time and space to find my way

But I lost some peace of mind in your wake

I guess I hate it when things change

I kept the letter that you wrote

You asked me if our bridge was going up in smoke

And I lied and said we'd find a way

But I lost a part of me that day

I guess I hate it when they say

That was then

This is now

Cuz that don't mean I'm better

I'm just the fool

Who figured out

That you and me together

Was just a fiction

Just a fiction

It's getting hard to go to church

The place that heals you is the place that makes me hurt

Cuz you found your piece of heaven now

And you don't care if it is my hell

Oh how the tables turn

Cuz that was then

This is now

But that don't mean I'm better

I'm just the fool

Who figured out

That you and me together

Was just a fiction

Was just a fiction

You caught me in the background, background

You've got me to your back now, back now

We were always on the same page

But in different books

You caught me in the background, background

You've got me to your back now, back now

Chapters open, chapters close

Oh all the time

And that was then

This is now

But that don't mean I'm better

I'm just the fool

Who figured out

That you and me together

Were hanging on

By a single thread

Drifting apart forever

I'm just the fool

Who figured out

That you and me together

Was just a fiction

Was just a fiction
