Story One Songtext
von The Narcissist Cookbook
Story One Songtext
Once upon a time, there lived someone who was no one at all
Who could not be seen or heard or known
Instead, everyone they met - family, friend or stranger -
Would see only what they wanted to see
Hear only what they wanted to hear
And know only what they wanted to know
To be at the center of every room
To be the song in every heart, and the heart of every song
Perhaps you think this a gift
Adrift without direction
On an ocean deep and wide
On a raft that barely holds two people
Lying side by side
And I remember when this felt like
All the space I′d ever need
I really liked you
Once upon a time
It's funny how this tiny world
Seems to get bigger every day
Now the arms that used to hold you
Are pushing you away
I know I said I′d never leave you
And I meant it
Yesterday—
Who could not be seen or heard or known

Would see only what they wanted to see
Hear only what they wanted to hear
And know only what they wanted to know
To be at the center of every room
To be the song in every heart, and the heart of every song
Perhaps you think this a gift
Adrift without direction
On an ocean deep and wide
On a raft that barely holds two people
Lying side by side
And I remember when this felt like
All the space I′d ever need
I really liked you
Once upon a time
It's funny how this tiny world
Seems to get bigger every day
Now the arms that used to hold you
Are pushing you away
I know I said I′d never leave you
And I meant it
Yesterday—
