Edie Brickell - If You Knew My Story lyrics

[Alice] If you knew my story you'd have a hard time Believing me, you'd think I was lying Joy and sorrow never last I'll die trying not to live in the past If you knew my story My heaven and my hell If you knew my story You'd have a good story to tell I left my clothes on that cold river rock My cares and my woes rolled up in my socks I lay down in that mountain stream And the icy water rushed over me If you knew my story My heaven and my hell If you knew my story You'd have a good story to tell Me I'm not alone Tell me I'm not alone Many backs have broken from lesser weight I know I was born to carry more than I can hold Even though I'll stumble Even though I'll fall You'll never see me crumble You'll never see me crawl If you knew my story Drew water from the well If you knew my story You'd have a good story to tell Me I'm not alone Tell me I'm not alone Even though I'll stumble Even though I'll fall You'll never see me crumble You'll never see me crawl If you knew my story
