No Tragedy Please Songtext
von Dan Mangan

What I can take
It will be tested
What can break me has a name

So when I′m calm
Feeling rested
There's still a devil at the gate

And I have learned
That if I let it
It will coax my ease away

So maybe too many things really matter to me
And maybe loss just affirms the value of everything
Maybe love is a curse and we′ll never be free
Maybe there in the sting lies the real poetry
Just no tragedy please
Just no tragedy please


If I could read
What the cards tell
Could I live with what they say

Would I just sit there, shuffling
And reshuffling
Try to fix the deck my way

What is this long
And painful process
Learn to take things as they may

So maybe too many things really matter to me
And maybe loss just affirms the value of everything
Maybe love is a curse and we'll never be free
Maybe there in the sting lies the real poetry
Just no tragedy please
Just no tragedy please

There's nothing more that I need
Just no tragedy
