[Verse 1]
I keep your name
Folded in the corners of my mind
Like some bedtime curse
I read it
Then I lose my sight
Breath on the mirror
Writing words I never say out loud
My hands are steady
But my thoughts keep shaking the ground
[Chorus]
Fable
Tell me that I made it all up
Tell me that I dreamed that touch
Tell me that it’s nothing
Nothing
Fable
Tear another page from my head
Kiss me like we never were said
Leave me with the nothing
Nothing
(whisper it’s a fable)
[Verse 2]
Every late night
I rehearse the fight we never had
Half-remembered
Every line gets sharper in my head
I taste the silence
Metal on my tongue
It’s burning bright
I hate that longing
I still hold my pillow like you might
[Chorus]
Fable
Tell me that I made it all up
Tell me that I dreamed that touch
Tell me that it’s nothing
Nothing
Fable
Tear another page from my head
Kiss me like we never were said
Leave me with the nothing
Nothing
(whisper it’s a fable)
[Bridge]
Why does it echo
Every word you never said to me
I’m on the threshold
Of the life we never let it be
If I’m deluded
Let me drown
Don’t pull me from the deep
I’d rather rage here
Than wake up and forget that we were heat
[Chorus]
Fable
Tell me that I made it all up
Tell me that I dreamed that touch
Tell me that it’s nothing
Nothing
Fable
Tear another page from my head
Kiss me like we never were said
Leave me with the nothing
Nothing
(whisper it’s a fable)
