"Stories" lyrics

"Stories"

There's a story I'm hearing from you
You've told yourself that it is true
How my grip choked and stifled you
Or words to that effect
But I remember stories too
Like the rugby player in your spare room
While Adam slept, you went to town
Can you see now why I held you so tight?

You say, go your own way
But you still keep watching
My stories
You say, today's a new day
But I can see you're still watching
My stories

There's a story that you told me
About the boy who put the hex on you
But what did you do?
Did you promise him love
And not follow through?
You can feel what you want to feel
You can even call it real
I see now why you can't look yourself in the eye
So we call it quits, let the next one deal with it

You say, go your own way
But you still keep watching
My stories
You say, today's a new day
But I can see you're still watching
My stories
You say, go your own way
But you still keep watching
Still keep watching (My stories)
You say, today's a new day
But I can see you're still watching
My stories

And just as I suspect I'm not so easy to forget
You took your lucky break and you broke it in two
Keeping tabs on what you lost
We could have had it all
There was so, so much we were supposed to do
There was so, so much we were supposed to do

Turns out that you're not the chapter I thought you'd be
More like a footnote in my story
