lyrics

I didn’t want to tell you but I told you so
Now we’re arm and arm in this parade
The bank teller is tired of cashing checks all day
Her mother hopes and prays she can be saved

Now we congregate inside a broken dream
Soft and thin our whispers start to fade
Symmetry and static populate my room
I ignore the world to make it through the day

I could’ve been a soldier
I could’ve been brave
I could’ve been an angel
But I ended up awake

I could’ve been a daydream
I could have got paid
I could’ve saved time
Instead I showed up way too late

I could’ve been a pipe bomb
I could’ve been crazed
I could’ve stayed in contact
But I ended up estranged

In the background of
Your wicked world
Your wild thoughts escape
The contracts closed
The truth you know
Is staged
It’s staged

I could’ve been a soldier
I could’ve been brave
I could’ve been an angel
But I ended up awake

I could’ve been a rain cloud
On a summer day
I could’ve been hopeful
But I ended up afraid

I didn’t want to tell you but I told you so
Now I’m wide awake beyond the grave
I didn’t want to tell you but I told you so
Promise me you’ll never go away
