story lyrics

Do you mean all the things you are?
Are you pleased with the way things are?
Wear that dress to protect this scar
That only I have seen

Do you give just to please yourself?
Do you wish you were somewhere else?
Justified all the things you tried
Said that it was all for me

And be near just for the moment
Stay here, never go home

Did you know
That everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes
As the story of a broken heart comes true, it comes true

Have you learned all the secrets yet?
Were you burned by the things I've said?
Took the dive just to feel alive
But never heard the truth

Now I'm in love but I don't know how
And I'm in pain 'cause I want it now
And as I sit watching her eyes close
I slowly open mine

Be near just for the moment
Stay here, never go home

Did you know
That everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes
As the story of a broken heart comes true, comes true

I am so confused by this
I know that life is hit or miss
Days are stung by too much sun
I think that you may be the one

Cover yourself up in me
Shrouded in what could have been
I will listen to your pain
If you listen to me

Did you know
That everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes
As the story of a broken heart comes true

Did you know
That everything she ever does is for you?
And I know
As the story of a broken heart comes true, comes true
True, it comes true, true
