Story behind the song
Listen to the story...
Lyrics
Chorus:
Here's the start of a story just begging to be told
I saw the line and stepped across it to prove that I was bold
Thought were in it for the long run together growing old
How could somebody who made me feel so warm turn out to be cold
(Chorus x2)
[Verse 1]
I got conflicting thoughts just playing in my brain,
it's picking me apart and making me insane,
why have I stayed in this game when I remain lame,
lay mamed while the pain is taking me away.
Into a darker place far away from the light,
why do I stand and fight, maybe everyone is right,
I should bury it away, it's not a way to live life,
dealin' with the strife, strugglin' with this knife every night.
It's such a chore not to put it on the floor,
I'm unusually torn, and it makes me wanna roar, I'm punchin' holes through the door,
I'm so abhored with myself how could I up and fall for a whore.
She set fire to my heart and then she stomped it out,
I'm so tired of the sort and I can feel it commin' out,
fumblin' through my chords and strugglin through my mouth,
How can I know what I'm for when I don't know what I'm about.
But I know what I'm without, and that's someone who cares,
but I guess I never had it, just somebody that was there,
acting as a unit when I thought we were a pair,
she saw passion in my eyes, in return I got a stare.
Chorus:
Here's the start of a story just begging to be told
I saw the line and stepped across it to prove that I was bold
Thought were in it for the long run together growing old
How could somebody who made me feel so warm turn out to be cold
(Chorus x2)
[Verse 2]
I have no idea what happened, this sh** just blows my mind
One minute we were happy, then she's cryin' all the time
It was the point of no return and she said we crossed the line
It's best to let it burn and continue with our lives.
Now she's happy and joyful, and over me I guess
Proud to be out with her friends while I'm at home a mess
I can't sleep a wink and I'm rolling in the stress
So I turned my heart to the pen and let it off my chest.
I can't believe that this dame made me wanna lay flat
But she'll always have a piece of me and I can't take it back
So I gotta face facts and accept that she's gone
I've packed up my bags, I'm finally prepared to carry on.
That's the end of the story, there's no more left to say
She gave me back my heart, now she's yanking it away
Until that faithful day when I can admit my defeat
I'll bundle myself in a constant cloud of deceit
(Fade)
