Making this shit up

So
there's this girl
and I'd like to tell her
that she's pretty
only it's a lie
that I'd like to tell her

Would
it make you happy
if I were a liar
and this girl
wasn't this girl
but was you

You
might have caught on
if you weren't looking
through that lens
weren't looking to capture
missed connections

Smile
while I play it again
there's this girl
and I'd like to tell her
that she's pretty
only it's a lie

If this were for you
why is it about
the way I lie
about pretty girls
pretty yous
made up by me
