lyrics

I seldom like to use the phrase
"once upon a time"
It gives me unrealistic
Expectations of what to expect
From someone who says
They'll love you all the time
The day you believe that
Is the day you become blind
And I was expecting butterflies
And a world on Fire
But all I got, was a very deep desire
To wanna run away
To never come home
to never stay in one place for too long
To never look back
To never stay put
To never say
"Oh look at what could have been"

Chorus
And I would give you the world
If I had the mind to
And I would give you it all
If I had the time to
And I would take you with me
But It turns out
That's just not me

Verse 2
My suitcase it sits idlely by
In the corner just waiting for adventure
And
I hate sitting right by it
For, all I've ever wanted
Is a suitcase full of memories
Something to really shape me
'Cause all my life
I've worn a mask and
I can't take it
Anymore


Chorus
And I would give you the world
If I had the mind to
And I would give you it all
If I had the time to
And I would take you with me
But It turns out
That's just not me

Bridge
If I could find the right words
Maybe
I would be a much better lady
If I could find
The right words maybe
I would be a much better lady
If I could find the right words
Maybe
I would be a much better lady
And I apologize
For my excuses are so paper thing

Chorus
And I would give you the world
If I had the mind to
And I would give you it all
If I had the time to
And I would take you with me
But It turns out
That's just not me
