The Story - Brandi Carlile

Led you so far down I could tell you'd never been Told me that time's near And how it will change everything? I'm not so open like the window you are The glass just reflects the scar Told me that you had to leave But how the fuck does that change anything? Your glare is the faintest no brightness to show I made the best of what I thought was impossible You were the spade I used to dig this hole Blistered my skin to the bone Swear all the pain's done No trace or tremor here Or am I still numb? Have I been this whole year? So let me bite down Feel the clench in my teeth 'Til I come around Then relapse and repeat Then relapse and repeat Your glare is the faintest no brightness to show I made the best of what I thought was impossible You were the spade I used to dig this hole Blistered my skin to the bone Now you're gone Now you're gone Now you're gone Now you're gone Now you're

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us How we met and the sparks flew instantly And people would say, "They're the lucky ones" I used to know my place was the spot next to you Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on Oh, a simple complication Miscommunications lead to fall out So many things that I wish you knew So many walls up, I can't break through Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now Next chapter How'd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy And you're doing your best to avoid me I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us How I was losing my mind when I saw you here But you held your pride like you should've held me Oh, I'm scared to see the ending Why are we pretending this is nothing? I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how I've never heard silence quite this loud Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now This is looking like a contest Of who can act like they care less But I liked it better when you were on my side The battle's in your hands now But I would lay my armor down If you said you'd rather love than fight So many things that you wish I knew But the story of us might be ending soon Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now And we're not speaking And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah I don't know what to say since the twist of fate 'Cause we're going down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now The end

Yeah Well, this road don't get no shorter I would have drove the whole thing for ya My tank down to a quarter, and it'll be gone soon And my drink been feeling lighter 'Cause I'm a lover, not a fighter And I seen that you caught fire When you put me out 'Cause you're my twin flame The one that got away I won't beg you to stay 'Cause I've been learning how to Forget how to love you And it's the hardest thing I'll do Right next to finding someone new And I'd set fire on to these booths Running from the hard truth That you don't need me the same way I need you And no matter how hard I try I'll never learn to say goodbye You say it's okay to cry, baby, that river done ran dry I hope my mama still prays for me before dinner 'Cause my stack of bottle caps just got a little bit bigger 'Cause I don't wanna think about The way he's spinning you around I'ma walk into that bar and burn the whole thing down 'Cause you're my twin flame The one that got away I won't beg you to stay 'Cause I've been learning how to Forget how to love you And it's the hardest thing I'll do Right next to finding someone new And I'd set on to these booths Running from the hard truth That you don't need me the same way I need you And no matter how hard I try I'll never learn to say goodbye You say it's okay to cry, baby, that river done ran dry (Baby, that river done ran dry)

Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
