Once I Was Mighty

When I strip for my window The audience is always easy And when I kiss my pillow At least I know what he sees in me I could be seductive But I'm just not seductive I'm not the mystery That you made of me So I've boarded up the windows Of my palace So I've grown accustomed to Rose colored glasses I called all the local papers Saying look what he did to me Look what he said to me Don't take this guy seriously Still I find myself on my knees Repenting relentlessly For what he didn't find in me For what I didn't turn out to be He says I boarded up the windows Of my palace That I've grown accustomed to Rose colored glasses So I live the life in pink So I'm different than you think So I'm not so outrageous I'm not so outrageous There was a time I was mighty When I stood as tall as I can Yeah, once I was mighty Now you've made even smaller Than I am 'Cause I've boarded up the windows Of my palace I've grown accustomed to Rose colored glasses So I live the life in pink So I'm different than you think I'm not so outrageous So I couldn't do what you did I'm a little more timid I'm not so courageous I'm not so courageous Once I was mighty Once I was mighty Martina sorbara - vocals/piano Adam hay - drums Jian ghomeshi - keyboard/percussion/acoustic guitar Rich brown - bass Kevin fox - cello
