Unreliable Narrator
[Verse 1]
Got a story to tell and I’ll tell it how I want to. I’m the narrator, I don’t have to tell the whole truth
I can make myself out to be the hero, you can’t criticize me if I don’t give the chance to
I did nothing wrong, I’ll paint myself as sympathetic, make the story so poetic
I’m not in the wrong, anything I did was justified, don’t matter if I killed or lied
[Chorus]
Oh, sure, it’s just my point of view, but I’m the one telling the story so it’s true
Maybe you think that everything is dramatized, and maybe you suspect that my ego is oversized
But you can’t call me out if it’s first person POV, you’ve got one side of the story and you heard it from me
I know I’m quite the character, but you can’t prove I’m an unreliable narrator
[Verse 2]
Got a point to prove and I’ll prove it how I want to, maybe I’ll lie maybe I’ll just stretch the truth
Maybe I failed somewhere along the line, I can leave that part, that part out this time
I am innocent, I don’t wanna hear any dissonance
I can tell you exactly, exactly what I want to
[Chorus]
Oh, sure, it’s just my point of view, but I’m the one telling the story so it’s true
Maybe you think that everything is dramatized, and maybe you suspect that my ego is oversized
But you can’t call me out if it’s first person POV, you’ve got one side of the story and you heard it from me
I know I’m quite the character, but you can’t prove I’m an unreliable narrator
[Bridge]
If I say it happened you have to believe me
You’ve got nobody else’s eyes with which to see
If I say it happened well my word is law, I’m the only one here who saw it all
It’s my story now
I don’t care how it all went down
Because if I say it happened you have to believe me
If I say it happened you have to believe me
It’s my story now
[Chorus]
Oh, sure, it’s just my point of view, but I’m the one telling the story so it’s true
Maybe you think that everything is dramatized, and maybe you suspect that my ego is oversized
But you can’t call me out if it’s first person POV, you’ve got one side of the story and you heard it from me
I know I’m quite the character, but you can’t prove I’m an unreliable narrator
