lyrics

i will build a heart
made of chat logs and snow banks
and you will melt it
i'm sure you will melt it

i will kick them out
folding over and over themselves
i'll tell you about it
after i tell them all about it

it's just a story i made up in my mind
and i tell it to get sympathy so don't say it's a lie
don't tell this to anyone, i trust you to be true
you know that song 'my favorite mistake'? she wasn't talking about you

i will write a song
full of tired cliches
and you will hate it
i'm sure you will hate it

you'll be another story
another notch on my bedpost
i'll tell it to the grandkids
another cautionary tale

it's just a story i made up in my mind
and i tell it to get sympathy so don't say it's a lie
don't tell this to anyone, i trust you to be true
you know that song 'my favorite mistake'? she wasn't talking about you
