The Crane Wives - Metaphor lyrics

I've gotten good at leaning on metaphor. I've gotten good at living on someone else's page. I've cut my teeth on secondhand sentiment-- You can't trust a single thing I say. I keep my closet free of skeletons 'Cause I'm much better at digging graves But I always dig up bones in your sympathy-- I can't trust a single thing you say. Don't look too hard 'Cause you won't like the scars He left in me. I've gotten good at making up metaphors. I've gotten good at stretching the truth out of shape And all these words are sweet and meaningless-- You can't trust a single thing I say You can't trust a single thing I say You can't trust a single thing I say You can't trust a single thing I say
