Lyrics
Play on Words
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.
we sit alone and talk our problems out
but instead we confused them
and gravity took it all
it used to be we had a grace all our own
and instead we abused it
and gravity took its toll
i want to be the one who's profound
but i can't keep with your pace
total lack of confidence displayed
and i don't think you asked for it
my complaint, my complaint
i still call you the one that got away
and to think i'm the one who let you go
my complaint, my complaint
never had a chance to know
say what you want
but it's a
play on words
to say we're in love
it is a
trait i should have never picked up
but it's a bright way to attract
la dah dah dah dah-dee-dah-dah
la dah dah dah dah-dee-dah-dah
la dah dah dah dah-dee-dah-dah
