After All This

you're a beautiful man

was cool to hold you

thought i could have you

boy was i wrong

it was a dirty plan

it's time someone told you

you don't hold the world

in the palm of your hand

it must feel freaky to be so sneaky

i guess you thought i'd never know

the one you loved had split, and he kind liked my ****

so you booked yourself a private show

i know i'm nothing special

i've never been the best

but there are thoughts in my head

and a thump in my chest

i'm a little embarrassed

is this part of your plan

i'm not a cardboard cutout

just a lonely man

whose heart is achin'

you're the reason why

so after all this

did you at least get your guy?

we had a few good laughs

talked for awhile and

walked round the island

hands intertwined

i also lied to you

said i liked your tattoo

i was only tryin'

to be kind

you rose up from the east and set into a jest

it was joking at its worst and trickery at best

now i have come to see the big punchline was me

your magic carpet just a vehicle for jealousy

i know i'm nothing special

i've never been the best

but there are thoughts in my head

and a thump in my chest

i'm a little embarrassed

is this part of your plan

i'm not a cardboard cutout

just a lonely man

whose heart is achin'

you're the reason why

so after all this

did you at least get your guy?

i know i'm nothing special

i've never been the best

but there are thoughts in my head

and a thump in my chest

i'm a little embarrassed

is this part of your plan

i'm not a cardboard cutout

just a lonely man

whose heart is achin'

you're the reason why

so after all this

did you at least get your guy?
