Fable Lyrics

I can't stand the time I'm away from

Things I wake up and take the next breath for

I'll be written down as a fable

Only some will get to know the real me

Only some will get to know

I would be upset too if I never

Got the chance to meet a guy like me

You're sitting by the window wondering

When will the stars align, when's the right moment

Maybe I'm thinking that you're only worth a preview

I barely even care about the plot to watch

It's like I've already seen it over and over

You're common but I'm rarer

Than a 32-leaf clover you're bogus

Wake up in the middle of the night you already know

They don't even understand what we're headed for

You could change the channel I'll still be on all or most

Critics will be thinking twice before they post

You're gonna be the one that's biting on that bullet

When they ask if you knew me when I was growing up

Tell me if it's easy to sleep, I'll check back in a few

I can't stand the time I'm away from

Things I wake up and take the next breath for

I'll be written down as a fable

Only some will get to know the real me

Only some will get to know

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All the details, all the details

Break my heart every time I look back

Even if it's for a split second I can't stomach the image

Of you thinking that I give a fuck

Yeah, live in the moment but I don't right now

I'm closed off, that's been my first line of defense

My future I looked over and I caught me a glance

I can't imagine you in any scene

I left your timeline in the past

What you expect me to do

There's nothing more to our story

You're back cause I found a view that's run low

It was bound to be you always leaning into demons

That pull the worst up out of you

Simple days when the light burned blue

I can't stand the time I'm away from

Things I wake up and take the next breath for

I'll be written down as a fable

Only some will get to know the real me

Only some will get to know
