Unintended Lyrics

Did you see the secret signals

That I sent for so many years

Did you have a single inkling?

Was I just spitting in the wind

I don't think there was a single

Inkling that ever reached your ears

All of it deluded, thinking

A butterfly, my wing's were pinned

All for nothing, why did I maintain

Foolish feelings verging on insane

Unrequited love always brings pain

Such feelings should not be entertained

It was wrong, and now I can see that

I should have known then it would fall flat

But I just could not accept the fact

I thought you would be my final act

You were never the one

And I was just a bit player

An extra that got some lines

That he never quite deserved

We could have had some fun

But that's only the top layer

And I have died in the mines

I got just what I deserved

I was never on your level

How could I have dreamed you'd have me

I was just a scruffy loner

Destined to become a drifter

Might as well have been the Devil

I deserve no one's charity

I'd have been your organ donor

But I'd have looked like a grifter

What was pure soon became obsession

Piling on every transgression

All just in pursuit of a session

But not for the goal of succession

I could not accept your rejection

I could see no other direction

I thought that I saw my reflection

But all that was just a deflection

You were never the one

And I was just a bit player

An extra that got some lines

That he never quite deserved

We could have had some fun

But that's only the top layer

And I have died in the mines

I got just what I deserved

I was a greedy beggar

Going after someone like you

For all your virtues and your flaws

You were my unintended one

And while I'm somewhat better

Than I was when I still knew you

For all the glitter and the gloss

I'm glad that I don't have a son

You were never the one

And I was just a bit player

An extra that got some lines

That he never quite deserved

We could have had some fun

But that's only the top layer

And I have died in the mines

I got just what I deserved

You were never the one

And I was just a bit player

An extra that got some lines

That he never quite deserved

We could have had some fun

But that's only the top layer

And I have died in the mines

I got just what I deserved
