"Common Ground For A Wallflower" lyrics - COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS

Just when I had everything figured out
I let too many words open my small mouth
He held me once in a room
It was unattended, and it tasted of an artist's perfume
He graced my naked back
My only sheet was a black dress
Woke up to a cold windy city
Woke up trying to keep the memory
I was poisoned into lying through my teeth
While his words were spoken only truthfully
Lost my shoes in the mud
Walked away clean, trying to be tough
I was trying to be tough

There's nothing in between love and hate
When it comes down to it
So you can walk clean away
Or you can act in the play
That we so easily put on for them

There was residence of hope in my heart
Til' I got dealt the unlucky card
Though the buildup was fun
The letdown wasn't worth it all
So I stole us our midnight drinks
And he got dealt our morning fix
Then we let the honesty pour
Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep, into a bad dream
Is this a bad dream?
He said he used to be like me
A musical mess, depressed, with anxiety
My ears only took half of his advice
Happiness comes so easily to him
For me it's a fight, it's always been a fight

There's nothing in between lovers and friends
When it comes down to it
So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time, but I can be useful in your life
I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passanger seat, I'll get is there as fast as I can
So we can go our seperate ways, I mean this was just a stage of the rest of our lives
I'm growing too weak to fight, At least I gave you a try...

I just spoke too soon
Did I speak too soon?

[Spoken:]
I'd like to think I'm not anyone, but another someone. Someone as real as a lie, and someone as fake as the truth. I contain a caged heart, and 3 year-old boots. And sometimes, I speak too soon
