The Story of You
You just said something there
Sounded just like you used to
When you'd smile and fire through the day
Like it was easy living
Not just something to get through
When did you change all your ways?
You never open your eyes anymore
When I try to kiss you awake
I keep giving but nothing will take
CHORUS:
Why, why?
Why are you always so . . . oh, fill it in
Fill it in, I don't know you anymore
Tell the story of you
The story of you
I know enough to recall
You haven't always held anger
As a go-to response
Can you try, try to believe
That it poses no danger
To be honest with me
You only tell me your thoughts
When they've turned to regrets
And by then it's too late
But I won't close the door on us yet
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You use those words a lot
But I'll tell you
They don't mean a thing
I'm sorry does not make you sorry
If you just do it all again
You go silent again
CHORUS
