Imogene by Keats Conlon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were just another scribble
On the back of a notepad
He picked you up and told you you were
So much more than that
Had a role that you would fit right in
You weren’t eager to complain
High of border lining sin but
He was just a friend
Who made up fairytales to justify his ends
He made it easy to pretend
While you were chasing brothers’ backs
He was facing fire for all his acts
I’ll bet he never told you that


[Chorus]
Imogene
You never meant to cause a scene
Imogene
You never thought he’d make you cuss or scream
[Verse 2]
Well you could be a soldier or a welcome mat
If he just gave a glance
And you’d set fire to every treasure
If he was the one who gave you the match
Imogene
You called it love love love
Even if you weren’t his
Love love love
And he would
Love love love
To love you every way you
Couldn’t love
And you tried to understand his words
Look beyond to what they really meant
But no matter how you’d twist or bend
His words kept on stinging though he
Smiled with every one of his attacks
And all the while you smiled on back

[Chorus]
Imogene
You never meant to cause a scene
Imogene
You never thought he’d make you cuss or scream
[Bridge]
But In the walls you built yourself from
Promises and empty heads you
Made yourself a comfy bed
With pillows much too soft to hear the
Horses hooves as he went riding
Off off

[Chorus]
Imogene
You never meant to cause a scene
Imogene
You thought his hands were oh so clean
Imogene
He went and tangled all your seams
Imogene
You never thought he’d make you cuss or scream
Imogene
