Broken Folk (2002) |
Shame...And maybe that's the beauty here
You'll always have your gypsy tears that come and make you theirs at night They give you a bed of roses with thorns and a thoughtful pose that makes falling look like flying that makes falling feel like flying And I have stories that play in my head like a bird and a stone in my hand Its something to throw, or something to let go or set free or just set up who I am But I offer you only what I know of love though I confess what it is, I think I forgot I tend to remember more about what love is not [Chorus] Shame, Shame, Shame Its not about you now, Its not about you now You can count the ways in which you gave but its more about why you love and less about how Oh its more about why you love and less about how I like to tell folks, I'm from a rough neighborhood as if that said something about me But I ain't been in a fight since I was in seventh grade We were almost 13 And his name was Alex and as far as I recall I can't remember hime ever swinging too But he'd still fight someone almost everyday just as sure as he would lose So I got this story that plays in my head like a bird and a stone in my hand But I've simplified myself to cause and effect now cause its much too scary to say that maybe I just am So I offer you only what I know of love though I confess what it is I think I forgot I tend to remember more about what love is not (but the truth remains still the same its not enough, but its all I've got) Chorus 2x |
