Lyrics
[verse]
You said the words were golden, said the plan was grand
Turns out your golden promises were only golden sand
I stacked up all my patience like a house of cards for you
And watched it fall the moment that the wind of truth blew through
[chorus]
So I'm spinning through the seasons, counting up the cost
Every clever line you fed me, every hour that got lost
Go ahead and tell your story, dress it up in style
I've been keeping score in silence, I'll be laughing in a while
[verse]
You called it inspiration, called it art you couldn't rush
Meanwhile I was paying rent on every empty hush
Now you want the credit, now you want to take a bow
Funny how the ones who vanish always reappear somehow
[chorus]
So I'm spinning through the seasons, counting up the cost
Every clever line you fed me, every hour that got lost
Go ahead and tell your story, dress it up in style
I've been keeping score in silence, I'll be laughing in a while
[bridge]
No hard feelings, just a harder look
At every page you tore from my own book
I'm not bitter, just a little bit amused
Watching you rehearse the lines you always used
[chorus]
Still I'm spinning through the seasons, counting up the cost
Every clever line you fed me, every hour that got lost
Go ahead and tell your story, dress it up in style
I've been keeping score in silence, I'll be laughing in a while
