Backstory:

Alaina, Sarah, Sam and I zoomed up for a write a few months ago. As usual, Sam had a great melody and I think it was Alaina had the title. She was reminiscing about a little episode she had that morning about being late and grabbing someone else's coffee at Starbucks.

Lyrics:

                                                  

Dressing Up A Lie
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI)/Alaina Stacey (BMI)/Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)

This isn’t my latte 
That ain’t my name in sharpie 
So sorry whoever you are

I’m gonna blame it on traffic,
Thank God I don’t panic
I’ll just do my make up in the car

(Cause) I keep my cool, I never cry, I’m never wrong,
I’m never late, I’m always zen, I’m always on,
I’m always wearing the perfect alibi
Cause I’m really good at dressing up a lie

When I get angry
I make the dirty words pretty ??
Wrap it up all neatly in a smile

If I fall on my face,
You know I do it with grace
Yeah I’m always slipping up in style

(Cause) I keep my cool, I never cry, I’m never wrong,
I’m never late, I’m always zen, I’m always on,
I’m always wearing the perfect alibi
Cause I’m really good at dressing up a lie


I keep it to myself
So nobody knows it
Foolin everyone else
Take my open book and close it
