Truth From Fiction
Supreme Beings of Leisure Lyrics

I was too busy playing princess
I was too focused on myself and my own desires, like a character in a fairy tale.

While you were off there somewhere else
Meanwhile, you were out in the world, experiencing different things and pursuing your own goals.

I was too worried about someone else
I was preoccupied with someone else's problems or well-being, rather than my own or yours.

And her name could almost rhyme with mine
This other person's name was similar enough to mine that I might have been mistaken for her, or that it was easy for me to identify and empathize with her.

I never meant for you to feel this way
I didn't intend to hurt you or cause you distress.

Can't tell truth from fiction
I am having trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy, sincerity from deception.

I said: pretty one listen to me
I am addressing my listener with affection or admiration, trying to get their attention.

Truth is all that's asked for
All that is required or desired is honesty, not fancy stories or embellishments.

And love is steering you to the inevitable
Your emotions are leading you toward a certain outcome, something that seems predetermined or fated.

But you can't stop trying
Even though the outcome may seem inevitable, you still feel compelled to struggle or strive for something better or different.

Or you may start crying
If you give up or lose hope, you may become upset, emotional, or sad.

I was too worried
Again, I was preoccupied with something or someone else's issues, rather than my own or yours.

I didn't know the truth was mined
I was unaware that the truth was valuable or hidden, like precious gems buried in the earth.

I never meant for you to feel
Again, I didn't intend to cause harm or distress.

Fiction
A simple repetition of the earlier line 'Can't tell truth from fiction,' underscoring the confusion and ambiguity at the heart of the singer's words.
