You’re a Magician, Not a Wizard Lyrics by Messenger Down

The Gentleman’s Guide to Keeping Away from People Like You

1

[Verse 1: Garrett]
I've become an enigma, a shadow in your heart
I'm just a memory, a face in the dark
I've worked and worn away the boy you knew in the start
I've grown alone but learned
Just what it takes to leave a meaningful mark
[Bridge: Garrett]
The sky it reminds me
The sun when it's blinding
I'll say it hopefully
What do you really say?
The streets and the phone lines
Reminiscing good times
I'll sing eventually
How can you even look at me?
[Chorus: Garrett]
It's not like we had nothing
I swear there was something
Whisper peacefully "You're worth it all to me"
Please darling say something
It's better than nothing
Just lie close to me "You're worth it all to me"
[Verse 2: Garrett]
I've become a bystander, a face in the crowd
I try to speak but I make no sound, the roar of the world has grown too loud
We've all got demons in our closet
Some just look like clowns
I'd let them out but I know that's the reason that you never come around
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I tried, Oh I tried [x2]
[Verse 3: Garrett]
I tried to find my way back home
But someone's [?]
Is this where my search party ends?
Or simply where it begins?
I was just another casualty
A broken back or a splintered knee
Whisper peacefully
How can you even look at me?
[Chorus x2]
(I tried, oh I tried x2)
