Convince Me
Val Emmich

You didn't like my decision
to make the hero a villain.
Said my stories all end bad.
they always make you feel so sad.

You answered rather casually.
you just record reality.
You made it sound as though,
you'd given up so long ago.

Then find me a better ending.
stay away from fact amending.
It's easy to blur and twist.
Just tell it like it really is.

What's wrong with a little fantasy?
To show the way things ought to be.
Why should I comply
to the silly limits of real life?

Come on convince me
I said come on convince me
If you really do believe these ridiculous things
come on convince me

How bout a girl with giant wings,
flies away when life really stings?
Has a plain & modest body,
and she is a black belt in karate?

Now there you go escaping.
I'm tired of all this reshaping.
You got anything from your life
Anything that made you cry

The day i dwell on failure
is the day that I surrender.
Yes, I've had my times
but I never let it break my stride.

But if you never stop to wonder
about the times your life went under.
How can you anticipate
when you're about to make the same mistakes?

Come on convince me
If you think I'm wrong convince me.
If you really do believe these ridiculous things
Come on convince me
Convince me
If you really do believe these ridiculous things
Come on convince me

How bout a girl who's trying
to make a boy see the silver lining?
Tells him now to shut his eyes
and let her tell him crazy lies?

If you're the girl who's singing
I'm the boy who's listening.
But if you want to end it happily,
you're gonna have to really
Convince me
