Pity Song Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

One, two, three

This is not a pity song
This is how I feel
I′ve been carrying around a time bomb
Filled with your lies in my face

And you've got me all tied up on the inside
You wore a three-year drink
Now, you′ve got nothing from the baby
Just an "I'm sorry" and "I didn't think"

And I′ve been carrying your secret to everywhere I go
I′m carrying your secret
You made sure to drill it into my bones

So I'm trying to see the light (trying)
Trying to see the light in it (trying)
Trying to figure out what I′m supposed to learn from this

Yeah, I'm trying to see the light in this (trying)
Trying to see the light (trying)
Trying to figure out what I′m supposed to learn


'Cause stuck in my head, your betrayal
I′ll repeat those bloody texts
You're lucky living two lives, baby
Who knew you were a gentle in hive
Now I can't turn on the radio
For fear of those lyrics, it′s driving me mad
So I′m sticking it to classical
Pulling deep breaths and praying to the sky

Show me the lights (show me)
Show me the lights (show me)
Show me that there's lights behind this (show me)
Yeah, common, show me the lights
Show me the lights (show me)
Show me that there′s lights behind this

'Cause I am a mountain of the movable
This is what I′ve come to know, with the wind in my face
And clouds that won't let go
Hey, I′ve been stuck in this landscape for far too long


So bring me a new love
Bring me a new love
To carry on (bring a new love)
Carry me on (carry me on)
(Bring me a new love) yeah, carry me on
Carry me on (oh, carry me on)
Carry me on and always, carry me on
Carry me on (bring me a new love)
Carry me on (bring me a new love)
Carry me on and always

Yeah, this song is not a pity song
This is how I feel
This is not a pity song
This is how I feel
