Marina & The Kats – The Truth is Boring

MARINA, spoken

I remember as if it was yesterday
You didn’t want to look me in the eye
You were talkin’ ‘bout the future
And forevers and sorrys and goodbyes

Your lips were shaking
Then I said, “Please, don’t sugar-coat it
It’s nothing new to me, darling;
I’ve heard it a thousand times,”
And I knew what I was about to come
There is… another woman

And again
The same old story
The truth is boring

Oh, come on, are you kidding me?
She’s tall, she’s young, she’s beautiful, she’s changеd your life
That’s good for you
I if were a man, I’d probably fall for hеr too
But, y’know, I was hoping for something a little more dramatic, creative, exciting, like a dual to the death, a mission to Mars, something like, “Honey, I was chosen to save planet Earth.”

And again
The same old story
The truth is boring

I wish you lied
I really wish you just lied to me
Is this all I get
The most mundane, predictable breakup in human history?
I deserve more than that
I deserve drama, and tears, and gladiator fights
She could have crashed our wedding
Y’know? A Hollywood kind of ending

And again
It’s the same old story
The truth is so boring

And again
And again
And again
It’s the same, same old story
The truth is boring
