Ordinary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't you know we lost?
Sunk so low, we just called it off
How an ordinary moment gets tossed
A more than ordinary woman's cost
Thought I understood
Fought to buy the whole neighborhood
You ought to try, "I told you so", it feels good
Bought it high, and sold as low as I could
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
Have another look, another look around
Have another look around
I can't stay too long
Can only play a handful of songs
How a melody can make up your mind
Take a memory and leave it behind
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
It's come undone
Done
