lyrics

The songs that she was singing
Were the songs I used to sin
Reminding me how I stopped singing them when you left me
Like all our friends who then took sides and I never saw again
But I’m not listening to their voices anymore
Not anymore
Chorus—
That was just part of the story
That was just part of the story so far.
The ache on your face as we lay
together and you couldn’t get it up
We’d drifted so far away from sure
The music had wrecked us, and left us stranded
Clinging to each other’s arms
But I’m not your life preserver any more
Chorus—
It took this long to realise you were poisoning me
Line upon line, stacked so high
Till it came tumbling down
Tumbling down, we all fall down
I’d read the same page over and over
Not taking any of it in
They were your words, your fantasy baby
But its fiction
So we’d all sit around in a circle
Glorifying our pain, until the enemy was out of control
You can tell it that way, call it like you see it
But I’m not playing that game no more
I’m not playing any games any more
I’m not playing your games any more
Cause that was just…
Chorus—
