The Story So Far - Ali lyrics

So this is what I get for trying to be nice Like its the only time I've ever cared These blank walls make me sick Like excuses made up quick I'd move forward if I only could I'd like to thank you for this effort It left me barely breathing on this stretcher We'll work things out in the end But we'll still be far from friends Take my hand, run it through your hair again I'll just pretend you're someone else It's what I always did I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit I'm not supposed to feel like this But the weight of the world is just too strong for me And I think I might just run away Back to your door Empty days and lonely nights Provide a blueprint for the things I write So when people ask me, I know just what to say The thought of you helps me wake up every day And I don't believe in fate IN FATE The only fate is the fate you make YOU MAKE So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone Cause that's all that I can do I've got good friends that help me too And someday I will get back to you On the back of my hand is the number she wrote I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke Until then I'll wonder what could have been Cause everything works itself out in the end
