Cover Story


I don't want to hear your cover story

I don't want to hear what people say

I don't want to hear the lies they tell me

Just to make me go away

They haunt me and tease you

Then they say they don't care

And yet they're at it again

Cover story, cover story

That's all you ever hear

Do they even care?

So why keep up the lie

Why bother to share

To me or to you

So let's let it go

And you choose

What to do next
