Great Interest (Reprise) ft. Eric Price, Santino Fontana & Solea Pfeiffer Lyrics

The story of your life

But there's been some omissions

There's a few facts come to light

What have you got there?

The story of your life

It raises some suspicions

What do you mean?

Are you white?

John

Are you

A white woman?

Look at me, John

Am I a white woman?

Did you live as if you were?

Yes

For a time

I met a man

When I lived in Paris

It seemed a good plan

He said, "You must be Basque

The tone of your complexion

You're from Biscay, if I had to guess"

So, I donned a mask

Without changing my reflection

"Well, are you?" he asked

I said, "Yes"

That's not in your book

Because it was one lie

The book is where the truth is

Just turn a blind eye

No

I think that you should

Close the door and lock it

If you trust me, this all turns out right

I wish that I could

But the future's in my pocket

And the truth finds its way to the light

What truth?

I know how it ends

Stop

I know all the facts

No one does

You only think you do

Let me see your arms

That was ages ago

Time is a trick

And "ages" move quick

Let me see the tracks

I struggled

I worked to stop and I did it

That's not in your book

Your book is a lie

It's the version of me I want remembered

The things that are true

Are not up to you

Jessie, you die

No

In a hotel room

That's not me

On Upper Broadway

That's all you can imagine for me

They can't pry the needle from your arm

The story of my life

That's not how this is ending

That's not where I'm going from here
