Fairy Tales
The Only One
when you needed me
i fell asleep
you said ‘tell everyone’
but you’re a secret i keep
how can they see you
through everything i do?
how can it be true
that you’re good news?
’cause i never change
still spinning around
looking for answers i have
already found
and i’ve tried work, women, and whisky
they all left me thirsty
but even i can’t deny
you’re the only that satisfies me
when i’m broken
you’re the healing i need
i don’t know why sometimes i
just let it bleed
it’s not cool to say ‘sin’
and i so want to fit in
i trade my mask for skin
i’m tired of pretending
’cause i never change
still spinning around
looking for answers i have
already found
and i’ve tried work, women, and whisky
they all left me thirsty
but even i realize
you’re the only that satisfies me
It’s Over. We’re Through.
I’ve had enough to drink over you.
It doesn’t matter. It’s over. We’re through.
Maybe one day we’ll be in the same room.
Without reading into everything we do.
You’ll tell your friends how I did you wrong.
I’ll get my revenge with guitar and a song.
We’ll wonder how we ever got along.
Love and hate both feel so strong.
But I don’t want to be your enemy.
And you don’t want to be friends.
And nobody thinks we should try again.
I’m invited to parties and I ask if you’re there
My friends they all tell me that I shouldn’t care
You can’t keep me from going out anywhere.
I can’t stand to see you. The truth is, I’m scared.
I’m scared of a past I’ve been drinking away
I’m scared if I see you of what I might say
I’m scared you will leave. I’m scared you will stay
I’m scared that I’ll tell you all this one day.
But I don’t want to be your enemy.
And you don’t want to be friends.
Sometimes I get drunk and think about trying again
the time it takes
i tell myself lies in the light of every day
when I say that this will go away
in 4 months, in 1 afternoon
in the time it takes to say ‘ I do ‘
i can’t tell a story without an ending
i keep reading signals you aren’t sending
but of course i will get over you
In the time it takes you to say ‘ I do ‘
a girl
dammit
she’s a girl
just a girl
not a pill to make my problems go away
not a destiny to make my credits roll
a girl
with her own issues and desires and dreams
more apart from me
than i’d admit to myself
she’s not what i look for her to be
because i’m looking for fiction
and she’s just a girl
fair to her
is it fair to her if i’m just killing time until you’re mine?
is it fair to her if i’m just holding on until you’re gone?
but i won’t break her just to fix myself
what if she is the one?
i know you’re not, but you could be
automotive world
weak reflection
is this some weak relfection of how God feels
longing for a love that doesn’t leap into my arms
i try to be the one she wants but it’s up to her to see
i’m here to hold her and keep her safe from harm
she likes some parts of me but she wants to play the field
how long will she look until she finds me waiting here?
maybe never. what if she is fooled by something else?
she runs to me for help but feels up and disappears
God are you chasing me the way i chase the girl?
thinking of me and wishing i would realize
everything i’m looking for, you’re so eager to give
i love her. i love her, but she must decide…
is this some weak reflection of how God feels?
longing for a love that doesn’t leap into my arms…
smart and smooth
i can’t be smart and i can’t be smooth
i can’t see me from your point of view
i’m only me and i’m afraid
i’m not the man God meant when He made
all this skin and sadness and a heart i just can’t find
i lost it to a girl i can’t get off my mind
He says He loves me, i don’t know why
He says it doesn’t matter how hard i try
i’m only me, i’ll never be more
He says just to drop His name at the door
so she may not love me
but i think i’ll be ok
i’m gonna let her go
till she’s the one that got away
