A Cautionary Tale Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, heavens, hear my story, a cautionary tale
Of how I came to be loved, and how it came to fail
A first time for lovers, a first time in agony
The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees
[Chorus]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
And made me the villain all alone
[Verse 2]
I struggled through the winter
Found cheat codes to your soul
Was born to be a giver
Destined to pay the toll
[Chorus]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
And made me the villain
[Bridge]
Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child who never saw his mother smile
A boy who had no sense of home believes he's better off alone
Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities
And I can't fix you, God, I've tried, the hourglass, I shattered just in time
[Outro]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
I lost sight of all my dignity
One more lover fails, cautionary tales
Continue to happen to me
