Although it wa...
[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've 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, surprise
[Outro]
Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends
