Stories

[Verse 1]
An angel came to me
And told me I was made for light
Not for me, no, not for me
But for every stranger in sight

I can't be the one to drag around
That heavy kind of soul
I have to burn the gasoline
So you can hit the road

[Chorus]
Well, everybody look now
She's buying our sorrows to sell, mm
Well, little do you know
It's only your stories I tell

[Verse 2]
He cradled my head in his hands
Reminded me that I'm not dead
I cried and I cried, and the feeling subsided
When I knew that I could see red

[Chorus]
Well, everybody look now
She's buying our sorrows to sell, mm
Well, little do you know
It's only your stories I tell

[Verse 3]
Come worry me, your burden be
My comfort in the night
I'll sleep with it and dream again
The colors dancing by

And I'll take your weight
And I will sink like a stone
And you can bet
That I will never be alone

[Verse 4]
An angel came to me
And told me I was made for light
Not for me, no, not for me
It's all for you, every single night

[Chorus]
Well, everybody look now
She's buying our sorrows to sell
Well, little do you know
It's only your stories I tell
