A Story We Tell Ourselves Lyrics by Laurie Supple

Carefully Selected Works of a Coward: 2018-2021

2022

You never cared
You never cared
This was my "Doll's House"
But you made me look scared
Emotionally impaired
Like the premeditation was the lack of a stare
I don’t need your validation
I just need some time
I would’ve preferred
To have broken you down for the first time
But you wouldn't care
'Cause you never cared
Talk of passions made you seem so scared
Nothing was shared
And I couldn’t convince you if I dared
There’s nothing wrong with me
But what you’ve done
This could go for a thousand people
But you’re the one
You’re not the one
You asked me something right out of the blue
And I still can’t figure out
What you had planned to do
Are people that disposable to you
These lyrics used to be absurd
I’ve changed them now that I’ve come to now they read:
I thought that I was dreaming, you thought I was crazy
You may have been onto something just maybe
I’d say I miss it but what is there to miss
Numbing repetition and every promise dismissed
Everywhere I look
(Every ////// strand of hair)
Everything she does
(Almost reminds me of you)
Every word I hear
(Would you say that you care)
The whole city above
(Would I believe you)
Would I believe you
You didn’t leave too many clues
I’m scared you’ll see me or I’ll see you
I’m not sure which I’m more scared of being
Being hard of breathing at the face that I’m seeing
That slipped my mind or the sight seems freeing
You looked like what I wanted
But I guess looks are deceiving
Because the longer I stare the longer I defend leaving
And I use leaving so figuratively
At most a black and white screen
With some red, brown, orange, and green
Do I regret that
Too young too far away too many questions asked in a day
Did we destroy ourselves
I don’t want to place blame
So blame the time and
Blame the place
Blame the fear of God or the shape of my face
I hate that I remember almost all that I said
But without those words who knows I could’ve been dead
What if we start again
Do you remember when
Do you know what you sent
Forget that
This is me ending this chapter
I want to live forever ever after
I made clones of you and tore them down too
You should see them hanging from the rafters
I had a lyric in mind that would have fit in nice
But it’s fitting that I don’t care to remember
I know this doesn’t look like letting go
But I’m focusing on fixing the future
