A Cautionary Tale Lyrics
Oh heavens, hear my story,
A cautionary tale
Of how I came to be loved,
And how it came to fail.
A first time for lovers,
A first time in agony.
The truths you will uncover
Will knock you to your knees.
I gave it too much,
I gave myself up,
Lost sight of all my dignity.
I’ve always been smart
My chameleon heart
Took your draining personality
And gave it to me.
I wanted to please you,
This performance of a lifetime.
My heart to you handed,
You took it for granted
And made me the villain all alone.
I struggled through the winter,
Found cheat codes to your soul.
Was born to be a giver,
Destined to pay the toll.
I gave it too much,
I gave myself up,
Lost sight of all my dignity.
I’ve always been smart
My chameleon heart
Took your draining personality
And gave it to me.
I wanted to please you,
This performance of a lifetime.
My heart to you handed,
You took it for granted
And made me the villain.
Oh, inside you there’s a guiltless child
Who never saw his mother smile
A boy who had no sense of home,
Believes he’s better off alone.
Who coils up in jealousy
To mask his insecurities.
And I can’t fix you God, I tried.
The hourglass I shattered,
Just in time.
I gave it too much,
I gave myself up,
Lost sight of all my dignity.
One more lover fails
Cautionary tales
Continue to happen to me.
