Token Idiot
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.
what should i say i guess things didn't
go my way but you insist on shining
light on my greatest failures fallible is me
but you can see this isn't my reality
it's just the way things go for us
someone out there saying life just isn't fair
but it's the disappointments and the great mistakes
that make you wiser and what about the
times you set me straight and still left
me waiting at the gate it's just the
way things go for us i'm sick of
trying at your way did you really think
i'd make it anyway i pulled this splinter
from my face and found another worthwhile cause
to take your place i woke up ok
it's just another rainy day and i'm feeling
the same way as you
