Lyrics
Oh, Heavens, hear my story A cautionary tale Of how I came to be loved And how it came to fail A first time for lovers A first time in agony The truths you will uncover Will knock you on your knees I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Took your draining personality and gave it to me I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime My heart to you handed, you took it for granted And made me the villain, all alone I struggled through the winter Found cheat codes to your soul Was born to be a giver Destined to pay the toll I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Took your draining personality and gave it to me I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime My heart to you handed, you took it for granted And made me the villain Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child Who never saw his mother smile A boy who had no sense of home Believes he's better off alone Who coils up in jealousy, to mask his insecurities And I can't fix you, God, I tried The hourglass I shattered just in time I gave it too much, I gave myself up I lost sight of all my dignity One more lover fails, cautionary tales Continue to happen to me
