Shoe Box lyrics

A key in the door, a step on the floor,
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says "I m in bed, please make sure that you re fed
If you re taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I m asleep I dream you move in next week"
I crumple the note and save it to put inside

[Chorus]
My shoe box
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies

it s under my bed, it s never been read
it s in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I m someone
Who s not seventeen, doesn t know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

[Chorus]

Did somebody tell you
This is how it s supposed to be?
Or did you just find it
And you don t want any more from me?

[Chorus]

Was it something I said, or was it something you read
That s making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye,
I can tell you I m sorry, But I can t tell you the truth, dear
And what if I could - would it do any good?
You ll still never get to see the contents of

[Chorus]

You re so nineteen-ninety
And it s nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
Cause you don t want me anymore
