Storyteller

I'm getting really sick of crying,
It's time to get me up off of this floor
Swear to God,
I can't keep feeling this bad no, I can't take this shit anymore

I used to see us being over, babe,
As the world tearing right at its seams
But as it all winds down it's clear to
See now, it never meant to you what it did me

So I took every last tear I cried and turned it to a word
Hoping that it would start a fire, and that I'd get to watch you burn
Maybe then you'll know just how I feel, you'll know how much it hurts
And I'll be sure to remind you of one thing first

I'm a storyteller and you knew this from the start
That you'd be fighting for your life if you ever broke my heart
I would trap you in all these songs
Of mine, all the ones you begged to hear
Tell me how you feel about them now?
Tell me you feel about them now?

My mouth was bound to get me in trouble so I might as well have fun
There are millions of young wild hearts in this
World, but bitch, you know messed with the wrong one

Though you try and you try to convince me
You're right, I can't hear one more word, 'cause I
Know you're climbing uphill and it's sad
You can't see that your noose is already tied

Years will pass and I'll be fine walking these city streets alone
And you'll be left with that
Restless heart seeing I'm better on my own
'Cause I never have and never will
Need anyone, but you, your cover's blown
This here is your story, babe,
And you can't run from the truth that everyone knows

I'm a storyteller and you knew this from the start
You'd be fighting for your life if you ever broke my heart
I would trap you in all these songs
Of mine, all the ones you begged to hear
Tell me how you feel about them now?
Tell me how you feel about them now?

(Tell me, tell me how)
(Tell me, tell me how)
(Tell me, tell me how)
(Tell me, tell me how)

You're gonna hate the day you met me, you're gonna wish it never came
You'll wish with everything you got that you never learned my name

No I don't know what I was thinking, you couldn't even be a friend
And life is just too fucking short to sit here and pretend

Like you ever cared that you broke me into pieces
Guess I was never good enough for you,
But my kindness was never a weakness
So go find someone new you can play for
The fool, and tell them I've got it wrong
But don't be surprised when they see
Through your lies and they start to sing this song

(I'm a storyteller and you knew this from the start
You'd be fighting for your life if you ever broke my heart
I would trap you in all these songs
Of mine, all the ones you begged to hear
Tell me how you feel about them now?
Tell me how you feel about them now?)
