Story Goes Lyrics

Oh I

Used to be strong

Like a kid

The weight of the world did no harm

And then you confused me to death

Couldn't even look at me in the hallways

Though the night before

I gave you all my innocence

I was a kid

A kid at best

You got my head pressed to the wall

And you're pretending to be tough

Making movies, making marks

But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes

The story goes

Guess it's part of getting old

Oh I

I gave you two years

For our so called love affair that started out of fear

Cuz at first, I blamed myself

For when you were stone cold sober

And I was passed out on the stairs

I lost all my clothes

In a familiar scare

You got my head pressed to the wall

And you're pretending to be tough

Making movies, making marks

But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes

The story goes

So prick me

With the sharpest

Of your

Needles

Or send me

Swimming with the sharks

Cuz at this point

I truly

Believe that

Any touch is gentler than yours

Oh I

Used to be strong

Like my brother

The weight of the world did no harm

But now I

Can't be held by another

Without fall, falling apart in their arms

So it was you

Who left me scarred

Yeah it was you

Who left me scarred

You got my head pressed to the wall

And you're pretending to be tough

Making movies, making marks

But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes

The story goes

Guess it's part of getting old
