If Life Imitates Art

If life imitates art And I write you into my songs again Would I hear your knock on my door? Could we get somehow to before? If life imitates art Could I summon you through a rhyme or two? Would you be ready to move on? Try to right our mutual wrongs? Shit, yeah, I'm sorry for colorful language F*ck no, I still meant everything that I said Including that I think you're a good man with misunderstandings Hell, I know too well that I can exhaust you You said I couldn't, but seems like I lost you If I could just triple squeeze your hand and stick this one landing I paint the end with what I've got Blood, sweat and tears inside a pot And promises for things I'm not Smeared on a canvas that's been used Just take a step back from the wall I hang it up, you make it fall A painter's too much, you choose a doll But does that doll really know you? If life imitates art And I made a film before I got ill About how you shook me awake Offered love that this time I'd take If life imitates art Could the accolades be a promise made That I'd do the best that I could? Would we restore a loverhood? Shit, yeah, I know that I swear like a sailor F*ck no, I can't accept that we're a failure And that we just won't get a second chance At clueless romancing Hell, I know too well your pride can't be swallowed You said it could, but it's still there in your throat It showers the songs you write for the band And your subtle glancing I shoot the end with what I have A lead actress who tends to go mad Cracked lenses I got from my dad Entered in festivals for fools I win Best Documentary Your girl acts scripts I used to read So the art gets made as more people meet And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew But who's the artist and who's the muse? But who's the lighter and who's the fuse? But who's the judge and who pays the dues? But who's the victim and who's the ruse? But who's the choice and who gets to choose? Who's like a drug and who needs the booze? But who's the story and who breaks the news? But who's the loss and who's got things to lose? And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone that I knew And you're just someone
