Toy Matinee - Things She Said lyrics

rate me

Gray is not the color I expected

On someone who is often touched by grace

The eyes that hold the promise of perfection

Will find the flaw that no one can erase

And though she hears the rumors of intention

And many times I've failed to hide my stare

She will not breach a hint of indecision

She will not ever bend to show her care

Things she said

Any other daystore promise

Things she said would leave me wanting

Run to her then run from other

Things she said

Broke me down and left me shattered

Hard as diamonds, it does not matter

Won't remember the things she said

Today I saw her face in all the papers

(She broke me down and she left me shattered)

A smile to empty out a lion's cage

(Hard as diamonds, it does not matter)

But notes that might remind her of what that smile was for

(Ohh...)

Are scribbled on a long-forgotten page

Things she said

Any other daystore promise

Things she said would leave me wanting

Run to her then run from other

Things she said

Broke me down and left me shattered

Hard as diamonds, it does not matter

Won't remember the things she said

The choice she never made

The face she never saved

The words she would not say

The lives she threw away

And the things she said

So gray is not the color I expected

On one who is so often touched by grace

But always she's the spectre of uncertainty

I first endure, then pity, then embrace...

Things she said

Any other daystore promise

Things she said would leave me wanting

Run to her then run from other

Things she said

Broke me down and left me shattered

Hard as diamonds, it does not matter

Won't remember the things she said...
