Story to Tell

On my way to hell I only fought with myself So I'd have a story to tell Once I cut off my arm I sewed it back on all wrong Now I don't have to bend To reach the bottom shelf When I need a story to tell The world is always on the brink And love is dumber than you think Singing songs of death and doom With all the voices inside of you Once I started a war But I don't fight anymore I held the line until the old oak fell I was left behind With a story to tell The world is always on the brink Hearts are smarter than you think Writing songs of death and doom For all the voices inside of you Once I looked you in the eye And I told you lies How I wish I could have treated you well I wish I had more than a story to tell The world is always on the brink Love is dumber than you think Singing songs of death and doom With all the voices inside of you I've been through hell On my way to hell I only fought with myself So I'd have a story to tell --- Story to Tell - Wilco
