To Judge A Book By Cover Lyrics by Zivi Osher

Fractured

0

[Verse 1]
This is the tale of how I never fail
Cuz you can't fail if you never even try
I dream by the day, but my mind gets in the way
So I just sit or stand politely by
[Hook]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind
Are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design
But to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine
So I put the book back down and I think, I'm just doing fine
[Verse 2]
Stayed in the rough, cuz I just wasn't enough
At least, that's what I thought inside my head
I'd list off my doubts, but there's too many to count
So I go back to doing jack instead
I kept to myself, and I left you on the shelf
I saw that you were happy as you are
I knew in the end, I'd rather keep you as a friend
Than mess things up by pushing it too far
[Hook]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind
Are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design
But to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine
So I put the book back down and I think
[Verse 3]
Not all fairy tales have happy endings
And I was never in it for the ride
And maybe it is time to stop pretending
That I feel nothing inside
[Hook]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind
Are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design
But to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine
So I put the book back down and I think
[Verse 4]
I know I'm the one in the way of myself
But I don't really care, so darn it to hell
I just think it might be nice to have someone else
And I can't seem to get past the fact that, well
I'd like to think that I don't judge by looks
But I've been hearing talk about the covers of books
And i'm lead to believe that it's all just fiction
[Bridge]
This is the tale about how I always fail
By standing by, I never seem to act
Sometimes I wish I could be the bigger fish
Go back in time and take my silence back
[Hook]
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind
Are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design
But to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine
So I put the book back down and I think
The covers of love stories on the shelves inside my mind
Are drawn with would-be memories and laced with intricate design
But to judge a book by cover is a habit of mine
So I put the book back down and I think, maybe I'll give it a try
