Stories We Tell

Worry's a killer, a familiar kind

One that you welcome like a friend

Regret is a martyr that bleeds what ifs and laments

What might have been

Stories we tell to ourselves

Stories, nothing else

That we'll never be loved, never enough

All those fairy tales

Over and over, my thoughts run wild

Overthinking is a curse

How many of us?

World at our feet and we only see the dirt

Stories we tell to ourselves

Stories, nothing else

That we'll never be loved, never enough

All those fairy tales

Don't go walkin' away

And don't be afraid

None of this is writ in stone

So many fables, so much dread

The lines that we memorize

Works of fiction that fill our heads and cloud our eyes

Stories we tell to ourselves

Stories, nothing else

That we'll never be loved, never enough

All those fairy tales

That we'll never be loved, never enough

All those fairy tales

All those fairy tales

All those fairy tales

All those fairy tales

All those fairy tales
