The tale...

CHAPTER 1
MISLED

You, only you
there is nothing that I wouldn't do
for you, only you

I saw your face in the crowded room
a pair of eyes, so gentle but so cruel
The kind of girl who seeks everything
on top of the world just playing to win

The look of life filled me up inside
I saw you smile, thought I died for a while
Planted like a seed, I know it was to me
You had me wrapped up like a gift on Christmas eve

But I'm sad to say that I was wrong
I apologise if I came on to strong
when you came and took me away
to the place I don't see every day

I still think of you and the day we met
and though I don't know you I know I won't forget
the way you looked, your eyes and smile
your voice still echoes inside me all the time

CHAPTER 2
IN A CLOWN WAY

How shall I take the thing you say
when the thing you say doesn't matter to you
Why should I listen to all your words
Should I go back through the door in which I came
just because I don't fit into you frame
Please tell me now, what should I do

Never, ever again
Never, ever again
will I let my feelings show
Never, ever again

The memory of us in your sofa
generates a smile on my face
It was all it took
for me to fall
You acted and you smile in a way
made me believe that maybe one day?
How wrong, how terribly wrong

In a clown way I acted
`cause I was so afraid that you never would see
who I really was and what I really felt
In a clown way I acted
when I went up to you and we started talking
then said goodbye for what I thought
was just for the night

"My circle of friends must be small", you said,
"Itīs easier to trust a few then a lot."
I guess there wasn't room for a boy like me
People say that you learn from your mistakes
but I know that it isn't so
you just find new ways and you do them again

EPILOGUE
GREAT EXPECTATIONS

It really was quite clear what I should have been expected
and I should have seen it coming `cause I've been rejected before
The lines between your mimes and the lives you've paralysed
just bounced off my eyes and were easy to ignore

I was blinded by the smile and the trip it took me on
but it ended up in nothing but a cabfare on my way home
I advised my innerself as I usually do
and the intuition told me that I must have got it all wrong

Never said "I'm sorry", never said "goodbye"
never said the things I couldn't hide
Always thought Iīd manage, always been the same
always wanted things that never came

I've been wrong so many times including this it would turn out
but at the time I was so eager, at the time I was too proud
so I held my head high and wandered in my dream
stumbled cross my ego with Itīs super self-esteem

The second time around prepared for what I though would be my
ticket to the circus if I just let myself free
but then the wind came around and my sails they all burst
and the second time around was just as awful as the first

Another weary day has laid itself to sleep
and I'm stuck with nothing so there is nothing that I must keep
Don't trust your intuition, don't trust your drunken head
and wander in submission with your common sense left in bed.

I hate to see, the things you've done to me
and I love to hear, you mentioned everywhere
but when your mask went off
there was no room for us
me and my great expectations
