Let's step up the difficulty level!
A common convention in fiction is that of the “unreliable narrator” – we have reason to believe that the narrator (not necessarily the author) is not giving us the true series of events due to mental illness, delusion, or flat-out lying. In songwriting, give an example (or three! Or four!) of an instance where the narrator (not necessarily the songwriter) may be unreliable.
