The Thing Is This Lyrics by JOEYB (NY)

max.

2024

[Verse]
\nThe Thing Is This
\nI stopped loving you last summer
\nTook a lot of time
\nAnd talked myself out of it
\nThe parallel roads of life and comfort
\n
\nYou'd show me which street to choose
\nLay me down and ease the blues
\nTake a nap until the sun goes down
\nBut that's not what I'm about
\nI have to be gone
\n
\n[Verse]
\nA bomb goes off
\nAnd you put on a pan of coffee
\nStare out the window
\nAm I getting my farthing's worth?
\nThen the picture frame starts talking
\n(you are the dead)
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nThe windows crashed and the walls caved in
\nMetallic voice calls our chagrin
\nThey kicked you down and took you far away
\nWell I guess today's the day
\nI have to be gone
\nIn order to be one
\n(in order to be one)
\n
\n[Interlude]
\n("Actually it would have made no difference," he said
\n"Then why are you sorry you didn't do it?"
\n"Only because I prefer a positive to a negative
\nIn this game that we're playing, we can't win
\nSome kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all."
\nHe felt her shoulders give a wriggle of dissent.)
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nI'm sorry
\nI'm not sorry
\nI'm sorry
\nI'm not sorry
\nI'm not sorry
\nI'm not sorry
\nI'm not sorry
\n
\n[Verse]
\nThe Thing Is This
\nI never loved you at all
\nI only wanted your body
\nI couldn't stop myself
\n'cause I was so weak
\nBut now I'm learning how to stop me
\nYou'd tuck me in and keep
\nMe warm when I was cold
\nBut you taught me to be catty
\nNow you finally have friends
\nAnd a life of your own
\nAnd that makes me happy
\nYeah that makes me happy
\n
\nI think I give a little
\nI think I give a little Oh!
\n
\nI will let you down
\nI will let you down
\nI will let you down
\n(down, down)\n\n
