These days keep rolling on and I still feel the same All of these goodbyes They are tethered to my soul But words of love have lost their way Inside this weary heart And I wonder when I'll be whole And if all we do just gets tangled, then untied I'll pay my dues and at least I'll know I tried I guess love is just a story That's written in disguise It was just the kind of story I could never write You were a beacon of laughter in the dark Just when I believed I could still believe But words and spit And hate and shit Were all that you could ever give to me And if I were you, I'd run away and hide It was never true that you loved me and you tried I guess love is just a story That's written all in lies It was just the kind of wrong I could never right They say that you can't look for love That one day, it just calls And all these smoke and mirrors They will just turn into fog and walls And if all that's true, then someday I'll do right And I'll know it's you when I open up my eyes I guess love is just a story That's written in the skies It was just the kind of story I could never write Oh, I could never write Won't you help me get it right I could never write
