I've been living through changes and I could swim for you
I can see the veins in my hands are showing through
But if you disguise what these things are doing to me
And if you criticize then I know that you can't see
Until you realize it's just a story
Until you realize it's just a story
A consequence
A consequence
Suddenly my reaction's getting rather strange
I can see a course of action leading to a change
You've got to get ready for me
And if we are
Oh, it's a truism
I've been living through changes
It's not the same thing every day
I hope it's not my age
But I wouldn't like to say
There have been days of a coarse reaction
Oh, it's very hard to find
I tried to find a plan of action
But I couldn't get it right
Until you realize it's just a story
Until you realize it's just a story
Until you realize it's just a story
It's just a story
Until you realize it's just a story
It's just a story
I want you to realize
Until you realize it's just a story
Until you realize it's just a story
Just a story
Tell me real life
Just a story
