If I wanted this story,
(and you did, and you did.)
what I wanted was more than touch.
(and you did, and you did.)
But I’m nobody’s daughter,
(and you are, you are.)
and you found me out too early, baby.
Oh, I wanted to call.
But then I’d ruin the ending.
Oh, I’d want it to spoil.
But you come back, you
come back home.
You never told him.
I always wondered if that’s because
it mattered too much or
not enough.
I kept the picture,
(that the bar tore town)
I hold the candle.
(and you did, and you did.)
That’s not part of the story,
I gotta believe in something.
Can, can, can,
Can you tell me the truth?
You never told him.
I always wondered if that’s because
it mattered too much or
not enough.
