You gotta live a little, you gotta give a little We've got a long cold history If I seem uncomfortable it's because you're just too close to me Past the living room, a rose-tinted tomb And a ghost staring back at me If it seems impossible it's because you dont believe Memories lie Memories lie In a little while, I'll be out of style Out of grace and reality When I feel disposable I'll pretend it meant something to me Everyone you see, passing on the street Plays a part in a tragedy When it's too uncomfortable it can rewrite history Memories lie Memories lie Try to see it from another angle Memories can change with passing time You believe it when it's all too painful Now you need it just to feel alright Try to see it from another angle Try to see it in another light Memories can lie when they're too painful Now you need it just to feel alright Just to feel alright
