The Story of Me by Martha St. Arthur Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll have to start this again
I must have missed all the signs they sent
All of the lines I had in my head
Must have gone somewhere
I try not to stare at my life
Leave it to people, to tell me I'm fine
The sweetest of evils that leaves you with lies
That leads you to nowhere
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
[Verse 2]
I wave to the weekend that's gone
Well I don't hate Mondays, 'Cause it's not their fault
I can't leave the job I hate and get one I want
A slave to the certain
I try not to cut me some slack
I don't mind the climb but I do mind the gap
I'm getting less time than I thought I should have
When they drop the curtain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
[Chorus]
Give me the lead, In the Story of Me
I can't watch from the seats anymore
I don't want to cast as the arse of the ass
I've already played that part before
[Verse 3]
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
Give me the lead, in the story of Me
I can't watch from the seats anymore
Give me a stand, an ovational hand
As I'm leading the band from the floor
The crooks from the start who've been breaking my art
Won't manical laugh anymore
[Outro]
Oh yes you are
Oh No, you're not
Oh yes you are
Oh No, you're not
Oh yes, you are
Oh no, you're not
Oh yes, you are
Oh no, you're not
I'll have to start this again
I must have missed all the signs they sent
All of the lines I had in my head
Must have gone somewhere
I try not to stare at my life
Leave it to people, to tell me I'm fine
The sweetest of evils that leaves you with lies
That leads you to nowhere
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
[Verse 2]
I wave to the weekend that's gone
Well I don't hate Mondays, 'Cause it's not their fault
I can't leave the job I hate and get one I want
A slave to the certain
I try not to cut me some slack
I don't mind the climb but I do mind the gap
I'm getting less time than I thought I should have
When they drop the curtain
[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
[Chorus]
Give me the lead, In the Story of Me
I can't watch from the seats anymore
I don't want to cast as the arse of the ass
I've already played that part before
[Verse 3]
And I want to break my leg
Over my own Damn head
But I break my back instead every time
Give me the lead, in the story of Me
I can't watch from the seats anymore
Give me a stand, an ovational hand
As I'm leading the band from the floor
The crooks from the start who've been breaking my art
Won't manical laugh anymore
[Outro]
Oh yes you are
Oh No, you're not
Oh yes you are
Oh No, you're not
Oh yes, you are
Oh no, you're not
Oh yes, you are
Oh no, you're not
