The Simple Story lyrics

Artist  : Feist 
Song : The Simple Story



 Send "The Simple Story" Ringtone to your Cell 

 The little thoughts came rushing in

Was I watched for a sign from him

When all the while was clear as day

That I should go and he should stay



I took his love like it was mine

I squeezed the truth until it lied

It took some time for cracks to show

Should I stay or should he go?



The simple story that you told me

Is a little different from what you showed me

The simple story, unfurling slowly

Is if you lay down with a dream you'll wake up
lonely



The fog will cast a certain shade

So what you see is how what's made

It's mark will show you what to do

When hope pretends it's made you new



Love lied

Love lied

But I'm the reason

Love died



The simple story that you told me

Is a little different than what you showed me



The sky wraps round the mountaintops

The watch unwinds until it stops

Some things will always be the way they are

And that is how they'll stay



The simple story that you told me

Is a little different from what you showed me

The simple story, unfurling slowly

Is if you lay down with a dream you'll wake up
lonely
