cautionary tale (original) - laufey lyrics lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, heavens, hear my story
a cautionary tale
of how i came to be loved
and how it came to fail

[verse 2]
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, all alone

[bridge]
oh, inside you there’s a guiltless child, who never saw his mother smile
a boy who had no sense of home, believed he’s better of alone
who could up in jealousy, to mask his insecurity
and i can’t fix you, god, i tried, the hourglass i shatter just in time

[post+chorus]
i gave it too much, i gave myself up
i lost sight of all my dignity
one more love affair, cautionary tale
continue to happen to me
