[Verse 1]

I've been sad and I've been broke

That people call me a joke

I've done wrong and I've done right

Lost every will to fight

I've been searching for what love is

Is it a story written for me?

Is it alive or barely breathing?

Is it this very song I'm singing?

[Chorus]

Or a raspberry layer cake

When no one else gives a damn

Staying out way too late

Playing every card you have

Is learning to fly learning to walk

Starting over again

When everything you have is taken away

Like a lie on your wedding day

[Verse 2]

I walk with a limp and my legs are bowed

I was born that way though I wasn't sure

I was made a bastard son

By an outlaw father who collected guns

I've been hoping for love to fill

A hole left in me, it's growing deeper still

Playing records and singing songs

Begging the crowd to sing along

[Chorus]

Or a raspberry layer cake

When no one else gives a damn

Staying out way too late

Playing every card you have

Is learning to fly learning to walk

Starting over again

When everything you have is taken away

Like a lie on your wedding day

[Bridge]

A lie on your wedding day

Lie on your wedding day

Lie on your wedding day

[Chorus]

Or a raspberry layer cake

When no one else gives a damn

Staying out way too late

Playing every card you have

Is learning to fly learning to walk

Starting over again

When everything you have is taken away

Like a lie on your wedding day

[Outro]

It's just a lie on your wedding day

A lie on your wedding day
