"Story Goes" lyrics

Oh, I used to be strong
Like a kid, the weight of the world did no harm
And you, confuse me to death
Couldn't even look at me in the hallway
Oh, the night before, I gave you all my innocence

I was a kid
A kid at best

You got my head pressed to the wall
You're pretending to be tough
Making movies, making remarks
But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes
The story goes
The story goes
'Cause it's hard to get enough

Oh I, I gave it to you
For a so-called love affair that started out of fear
'Cause at first I blamed myself
For when you were stone-cold sober
And I was passed out on the stairs

I lost all my clothes
And my familiar scared

You got my head pressed to the wall
You're pretending to be tough
Making movies, making remarks
But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes
The story goes
The story goes
'Cause it's hard to get enough

So quickly, with the sharpest of your needles
Ascending, swimming with the sharks
'Cause at this point I truly believe it
Any touch is shallower than yours

Oh I, used to be strong
Like my brother, the weight of the world did no harm
And now I can't be held by another
Without full falling apart in their arms

So it's you who left my scarred
Yeah, it was you
That left my scarred

You got my head pressed to the wall
And you're pretending to be tough
Making movies, making remarks
But I'm begging you to make love

The story goes
The story goes
The story goes
Guess it's part of getting old
