Lyrics

The sweetest symphony is full of hot despair

But all too soon you're erasing my whole kiss

A dance we had six years ago when we were young and scared

Full of empty promises and threats

So we complain about a place we'd never been

And argued over pictures in a book

It always feels so incomplete, another day, another street

Another sweet, uneasy look

I used to know just what I'd say if you confronted me

How come I can't remember now?

You ask why I write such good songs, I think it's plain to see

I have to let it out somehow

No one can sing like me

And no one can play guitar like me

And no one says the things I say

And no one else ever feels this way

I can't explain myself

It would sound much better from someone else

But you chose me, and you were wrong

And that's why I write such good songs

In the time it takes to make one mistake, you're up and gone

And I'm so tired that I just watch you run

You always hide my evidence and clean your snowflake fingerprints

Off the loaded barrel of my tongue

I can't ignore you anymore but what else can I say?

It seems absurd to argue now

I guess we should have kept in touch 'cause when you can't talk, you think too much

And it all builds up 'til it all comes out

When everything I try to say comes out so foolishly

I have no choice except to lie

So when I tell you that I hate the things you do to me

I wonder why I even try

No one can sing like me

And no one can play guitar like me

And no one says the things I say

And no one else ever feels this way

I can't explain myself

It would sound much better from someone else

But you chose me, and you were wrong

And that's why I write such good songs

No one can sing like me

And no one can play guitar like me

And no one says the things I say

And no one else ever feels this way

I can't explain myself

It would sound much better from someone else

But you chose me, and you were wrong

And that's why I write such good songs

No one can sing like me

And no one can play guitar like me

And no one says the things I say

And no one else ever feels this way

I can't explain myself

It would sound much better from someone else

But you chose me, and you were wrong

And that's why I write such good songs

No one can sing like me

And no one can play guitar like me

And no one says the things I say

And no one else ever feels this way

I can't explain myself
