Here’s Where the Story Ends

Lyrics

[Verse 1] People I know, places I go Make me feel tongue-tied I can see how people look down They're on the inside [Refrain] Here's where the story ends [Verse 2] People I see, weary of me Showing my good side I can see how people look down I'm on the outside [Refrain] Here's where the story ends Ooh, here's where the story ends [Chorus] It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes my eyes feel sore Oh, I never should have said the books that you read Were all I loved you for It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes me wonder why And it's the memories of the shed that make me turn red Surprise, surprise, surprise [Verse 3] Crazy, I know, places I go Make me feel so tired I can see how people look down I'm on the outside [Refrain] Here's where the story ends Ooh, here's where the story ends [Chorus] It's that little souvenir of a terrible year Which makes my eyes feel sore And who ever would have thought the books that you brought Were all I loved you for? Oh, the devil in me said, "Go down to the shed" I know where I belong But the only thing I ever really wanted to say Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong It's that little souvenir of a colorful year Which makes me smile inside So I cynically, cynically say the world is that way Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise [Outro] Here's where the story ends Ooh, here's where the story ends
