fiction 2

I don't want to live in fiction no more
I want to live in the present tense
I don't want to look at life when it goes
and be confused by where it went
I don't want to live in fiction no more
I want to live in the here and now
and I was thinking you
were somebody who
could show me around
who wouldn't put me down
who could show me what life holds in store
I don't wanna live

I don't wanna live in fiction no more
I want a life with the girl I love
I look around
and see a battleground
of which I've had enough
I don't want to live in fiction no more
I want family and friends
I need to see 
what's in front of me
with no reason to pretend
I can see clearly again
today I'm walking out that door
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live in fiction no more
