lyrics

1.
Side glance from a lover once kissed
Made me feel like a leper with a blistered tongue
He said I was a masochist
Because I play complicated songs
If only he knew
If only he knew
But the only one who won't forgive me
Is the only one who matters

2.
Last chance with a hooker's wrist
She said "hurry up and finish"
'cause she ached like a Cupid
My role was diminished
When I lost my grip
And she became a solo artist

She fleshed out her lilies
With a storyteller's glue
I'm a snapped Achilles
If only she knew

3.
Sick note from an evangelist
Made me feel like a candle without a wick
He told me I was a fantasist
Living in Mitty-esque ignorant bliss
If only he knew
If only he knew...
