Something Great (Jack of Hearts)

Lyrics

I am trying to do something great And you may never forgive me I was trying to make you a myth Now I'm taking it with me Once a poem about you and me Called "The Longest Night in History" I was trying to do something great You can certainly learn a lot By watching someone lose something I've been doing my share on both ends So can I somehow be helpful? Dress me up in a pageants sash Reads "Cautionary tale" I'll speak to the class You can certainly learn a lot By watching someone lose something So just hold on Don't freak out Easier said than done Without a doubt Just hold on Don't self destruct If you think this is going to be easy Well you're shit out of luck You know that I love you You left to see if the darkness above Was tied to the two of us together Would we both find sunnier skies If we said goodbye forever? Couldn't believe how bad it hurt Screamin' at the devil: "Hey, come do you're worst!" And it took so long to realize It could be a permanent server But I held on Stared down the night When I couldn't bare another second along came a light I followed it to A place where I could start again Although everyone here Seems to know my smile's pretend I remember you loved me Now, I know you've had your own travails And this is just one half of the tale So if you sing it I will listen But you got to keep your end of the deal: Tell the truth, even when it lacks appeal You were trying to do something great And I may never forgive you To new neighborhoods, side-by-side In the broken heart district I see you walking late at night Weeping willows, old starlight We keep trying to do something great Well, hello old love I've seen you around Everybody starts out as a stranger in this town Would you stop by for tea? See what I've done with this place It's just nice to be around your familiar face You know that I love you I know that you love me So nice to meet you So nice to meet you
