I respect you enough
To tell you the truth
I could spin some false compliments
Would you think that’s more couth?
I could, I could write us a song
And only tell the good sides
Would you say that I’ve made amends?
That you prefer all the lies
[Chorus:]
I’m spinning the handle and I’ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine
I can try to soften my words
To lessen the blow
I could spin some false compliments
But there’s something you should know
I could tell all your friends
Were doing fine
I could give them false confidence
We’re not in decline
[Chorus:]
I’m spinning the handle and I’ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine
I respect you enough
To tell you the truth
I could spin some false compliments
Would you think that’s more couth?
I could, I could write us a song
And only tell the good sides
Would you say that I’ve made amends?
That you prefer all the lies
[Chorus:]
I’m spinning the handle and I’ve
Tricked the machine
This is only hiding the pain
Still got no vaccine
