The Simple Story Lyrics

The little thoughts came rushing in Was I watched for a sign from him When all the while was clear as day That I should go and he should stay
I took his love like it was mine I squeezed the truth until it lied It took some time for cracks to show Should I stay or should he go?
The simple story that you told me Is a little different from what you showed me The simple story, unfurling slowly Is if you lay down with a dream you'll wake up lonely
The fog will cast a certain shade So what you see is how what's made It's mark will show you what to do When hope pretends it's made you new
Love lied Love lied But I'm the reason Love died
The simple story that you told me Is a little different than what you showed me
The sky wraps round the mountaintops The watch unwinds until it stops Some things will always be the way they are And that is how they'll stay
The simple story that you told me Is a little different from what you showed me The simple story, unfurling slowly Is if you lay down with a dream you'll wake up lonely
