Bedtime Story

[Verse 1]

Because you never meant it when you said that it’s alright

Because it wasn’t really ever what I had in mind

The damages are clear; he takes the pain, I take the fear

Oh, what’s the devil but a good negotiator?

[Verse 2]

Because I always meant it when I said it would go wrong

Because I always thought my life would be a sad song

The future’s conveyed, you know the chord before it’s played

Oh, what am I but a bad story teller?

[Verse 3]

And when the nights are cold and strange and all the birds are gone

And all the oil’s been spilt, and left us on this Earth alone

I'll think about the time you reassured me you were mine

Oh, what is love but a frail little dreamcatcher?
