I Talk A Pretty Story

I'll forget my troubles, start my life anew
Make a new beginning, forget the past and you
I burned all my bridges leaving you behind
Find myself a new love, free you from my mind

I talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's true
That any man could always take the place of you
I talk a pretty story, but I'm not fooling me
'Cause my pretty, pretty story can never be

I tell him it's over, over with and done
Tell him I'm happy, ain't I the lucky one?
Had fun while it lasted, that's the way I play
Love 'em and leave 'em, can't get hurt that way

I talk a pretty story, I tell myself it's true
That any man could always take the place of you
I talk a pretty story, but I'm not fooling me
'Cause my pretty, pretty story can never be
