Wasn't That Supposed to Be Me?

So it says and so it goes, live within swells of the wispy throes Colliding with ramparts rejecting the beggars dreams Which must be true for fools like me So give me one dance and I’ll set you free He’s waiting for you with a box of borrowed dreams He knows your lines and your eyes before they see Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me Now I know and now I see Sometimes things are exactly as they seem Trying too hard thus never passing the test She will look but I'm always second best So give me one dance and I’ll set you free He’s got the songs written in your exact key My fantasy is his reality Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me Proses and poems for the prowess of pawns March in armies of the unfinished songs That draw the long front lines That guard the story that hides In the hearts within the smile in your eyes Just like the end and just like the start To paint with the dark has become the lost art Shooting stars in the shame of the sea Drowning what is and what can never be So give me one dance and I’ll set you free The time has come for you and him to leave Two become one on the throne of Venus' chemistry Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me
